Hot & Sour Soup (酸辣湯)

Step 1

We don't really emphasize it in this specific video, but my dad is really big on washing his vegetables. So, wash them.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix together cornstarch and water​ with a spoon until it becomes an even slurry.

Step 3

Set the stove to its highest heat setting, and start to heat up the wok.

Step 4

Cook the diced tomatoes for 30-60 seconds, then add our boiled water.

Step 5

Cover the wok with a lid. My dad opted for a smaller lid, which is supposed to help the wok come to a boil more quickly.

Step 6

Once the wok is boiling, we'll uncover the lid and add more character to our soup.

Step 7

Almost done! Turn off the heat and transfer the soup into a bowl. Garnish with the minced green onions.
