Hot and Sour Soup



This hot and sour soup recipe is fantastic.  It's quick, easy to make, doesn't call for a lot of difficult-to-find ingredients, and the best part--easily rivals any hot and sour soup found at a restaurant.  I also include a link on how to make your own crispy Chinese noodles!

Kosher salt is shown, but table salt is fine to use.  You will only need half of a 16 oz. carton of tofu.

Hot and Sour Soup 101:

*About an hour before the soup preparation, drain the water from the tofu.  Then wrap the tofu in several layers of paper towels and put a cutting board on top of it weighted down with a small bowl like a cereal bowl.  You want enough weight to express water from the tofu but not enough weight to crush it. Change paper towels after about 30 minutes.  After tofu has completely drained, cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.

*I use 1 1/4 tsp. chili garlic sauce and 1/2 cup rice vinegar.

*All of these ingredients can be found at Wal-Mart or other major grocery chains. Toasted sesame oil is a delicate oil and once opened, should be stored in the refrigerator.  http://www.stilltasty.com/fooditems/index/17807
