Vegetarian Egg Flower Soup Recipes

VEGETARIAN EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a heavy soup pot over high heat, add the oil, and heat until hot, about 20 seconds. Add the tomatoes and scallions, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the soy sauce and rice wine or sake, and stir-fry over high heat for 20 seconds. Add the water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes, skimming the surface to remove any impurities. Add the snow peas and stir.
• Slowly add the cornstarch mixture and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Once slightly thickened, remove from the heat and slowly add the beaten eggs, pouring them in a thin stream around the edge of the pot. Carefully stir once or twice so that the eggs form thin streamers. Taste for seasoning and ladle into serving bowls.

Steps:

• With the flat of a heavy knife, crush the lemongrass stalks.
• Put the stock in a wok and bring to simmering point. Add lemongrass, salt, pepper, sugar and lemon juice and stir to mix well. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove the lemongrass stalks and discard.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg white lightly and combine with the sesame oil. Pour into the stock in a very slow, thin stream. Using chopsticks, pull the egg gently into strands by stirring in a figure of 8 motion.
• Turn into a soup tureen or individual bowls, garnish with the coriander and spring onions and serve at once.
