Keep the liquid from the mushrooms and use that as your stock. You don't have to add any chicken/veggie/beef stock. Sugar should be in the list of ingredients as well as white pepper. The preferred vinegar for the soup is the black Chinese Chinkiang vinegar, though I like the white Chinese vinegar because it doesn't turn the soup too dark. And the final secret is the pickled mustard greens called "Ja Choy" which is sold in cans or plastic airtight bags. Enjoy!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273024903147009552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22034593.post-1144091585542521342006-04-03T13:13:00.000-06:002006-04-03T13:13:00.000-06:00It seems to be one of those addictive things..

I didn't add pickled veg, I just followed the recipe I found. I'll have to go hunting for a better one.Erin Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781812119996983064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22034593.post-1144066215335993542006-04-03T06:10:00.000-06:002006-04-03T06:10:00.000-06:00I too get the hankering for hot sour soup once in ...I too get the hankering for hot sour soup once in a while - once i ate it 5 nights in a row! I get a takeout though. Never made it myself. Did you add the pickled veg? Maybe that may be the answer?<BR/><BR/>It looks delicious, anyhow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
