Hot & Sour Soup

with Oyster Mushrooms & Fried Peanuts

This spicy soup is inspired by the deliciously tangy and tingly suan la fen, a hot and sour soup from Szechuan featuring smooth, bouncy glass noodles. Toasty fried peanuts, tender cubes of tofu, and delicate oyster mushrooms add to an elegant, cozy, and high-protein supper.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Fry the peanuts

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add peanuts and cook until golden brown, tossing occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to small bowl, leaving oil in saucepan. (4-servings: use ¼ cup vegetable oil)

2
Make the broth

Return same saucepan with peanut oil to medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, scallion whites, chili crisp, and ½ tsp pepper and cook until fragrant and mushrooms soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in tamari, rice vinegar, white vinegar, broth concentrate, agave, ¼ tsp salt, and 5 cups water and bring to a boil. Add noodles and tofu and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. (4-servings: use 1 tsp pepper, 8 cups water)

3
Finish the soup and serve

Whisk together cornstarch and ¼ cup water in small bowl, then stir into soup. Cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Divide soup between serving bowls. Sprinkle with fried peanuts and scallion greens. Soup's on!
