Easy Hot and Sour Soup
« on: July 15, 2012, 08:50:54 AM »
2 cans - 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms drained
1 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder
2 teaspoons peanut oil or 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon chili oil
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 small cans water chesnuts drained
1 tray extra firm tofu cut into strips or cubes
Directions:
1In a large pot, saute mushrooms and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 4 minutes, stir  frequently.
2Add in broth, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes; stir; bring to a boil.
3Add in chicken and tofu; lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes turn off heat and put top on until ready to serve .
4.Remove from heat; stir in sesame oil.
I think the whole pot was 10-12 carbs you could leave out the water chesnuts but I wanted them for the crunch . Very good and easy .Even hubby liked it of course tyleer would not go near it

We have dried poopaki mushrooms.  Does anyone know how many of the dried ones we need for this recipe?  If we approximate it, will that be okay?

Notice how the "naughty word checker" changed the mushroom name?  Pretty funny!
