Salted Vegetables And Tofu Soup Recipe

Salted Vegetables And Tofu Soup

From wiffy 16 years ago

A yummy-licious comfort soup that is really pleasing to the palate. You better cook more rice to go with this! ;)

300g firm tofu (or those that indicated on package as suitable for soups), cut to cubes shopping list
200g salted vegetables, cut shopping list
2 sour plums shopping list
2 pieces of ginger shopping list
100g lean pork, sliced thinly shopping list
6 prawns, de-shelled & de-veined shopping list
100g squid, cut to rings shopping list
2 tomatoes, cut to wedges shopping list
80g carrot, peeled and cut shopping list
1200ml water shopping list

Boil water in pot. Add salted vegetables, carrots, sour plums and ginger to boiling water & simmer on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
Add tofu & tomatoes and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Lastly, add the pork slices, squids and prawns and cook for 3-5 minutes. Serve hot with rice.
Tip: you can add 1/2tbsp Chinese cooking wine (aka Hua Tiao Jiu/Shao Xing Jiu) at step 3 if desired. I once ate at a zi char store and they added lots of Chinese cooking wine to their soup and it tastes great. But if it’s your first time trying out the soup, you may wanna skip this so that you can enjoy the original taste =D

No, you are not ignorant at all! :)

Salted vegetables is a type of preserved vegetables, and I think you can find it at a Chinese grocery store/asian supermarket. I added a photo of what it looks like so that you have an idea of what it looks like :)

I dislike showing my ignorance, but what is meant by "salted vegetables"? Is it the vegetables of my choice, salted? Or what?

This is one of my fave soups!! Thank u so much for posting it. I normally add tomatoes to add that extra tanginess (instead of the plums which u used) and douse it with lots of white pepper. Yum!!!
