Bean Curd in Thick Soup

CNY Reunion Dinner is nothing like a dinner without soup. So, instead of the regular Shark Fin's Soup, I made something similar but without the shark fin.

Ingredients:-

- 1 square bean curd (cut into thin strips)
- 100g shredded chicken
- 100g crab meat
- 50g Chinese mushroom (soak and shredded, remove the stumps)
- 50g black fungus
- 4 pieces water chestnuts (peeled and shredded)
- 50g carrots (shredded)
- 1 stalk spring onion (shredded)
- 4-5 bowls stock


Seasonings:-

- 4 tbsps Huadiao wine
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsps light soy sauce
- adequate pepper
- adequate sesame oil


1. Scald shredded chicken and mushroom in boiling water. Remove and drain.
2. Heat up 1 tbsp of oil, sizzle in Huadiao wine. Pour in stock and bring to boil. Put in remaining Ingredients and Seasonings, bring to boil. Thicken the gravy with starch solution. Serve.


A yummy recipe which my father inlaw absolutely loved and took numerous helpings. Caitlin was busy slurping hers, too. Hahahahahhahaha................
