Chinese Hot and Sour Soup

Who doesn't love this soup? Plus you can even make it vegetarian if you would like. This is the recipe that I decided to make, I found this recipe looking for recipes to make with cloud ear fungus. I actually have never had this soup but I really don't see how you can go wrong with this list of ingredients. Chris says this looks exactly like the soup that he gets and he thinks that I will really like it, even though I am I little dubious because it has what I call "uncooked tofu".....I normally don't tofu that isn't lightly fried. I liked this soup, I found if you make it vegetarian you should add some vegan chick'n broth powder. But it was not "hot". I looked at another recipe and it uses ginger and chili garlic sauce and I added some of that and now it tastes on point.

Vegan Chicken in Garlic Sauce and Homemade Chili Garlic Sauce

This is one of Chris's favorite recipes. I will attempt to make this with some Morningstar Chick'n Strips. I have decided to try out this recipe which is from Tigers & Strawberries. Chris says that the way his mom gets the restaurant to make it is with water chestnuts only. I hope that this tastes somewhat close to what he is remembering.



He loved it, it is now one of his favorites! Slightly hot and slightly sour from the chili garlic sauce and vinegar, this dish has lots of flavor. He keeps telling me how much he liked it, and we are even making this recipe for his mom's birthday.

I made some Vietnamese Chili Garlic Sauce today and since I almost used all of mine up and I had some Thai Chilies to use up. I used this recipe except I cooked mine for about 30 minutes.
