Simple Recipe: Vegetarian Sichuan Appetizing Soup 簡單食譜：素食四川菜開胃湯

                     

This is a very simple appetizing soup to make. I only add Sichuan Pickled Vegetables and Vegetarian Mocked Meat as to me, adding other ingredients will "complicate" the taste. This soup go well with white rice or even fried rice.

Serving: Family Serving Preparation time: ~ 30 mins

Vegetarian Ingredient (Please use vegetarian ingredient with NO EGG):

* Sichuan Pickled Vegetables (see picture, just half of the it will do, rinse and cut into slices)
Rinse with water and soak in the water for about an hour before cooking to prevent over-salty.

* Vegetarian Mocked Meat/Hedgehog Mushroom
(Hedgehog mushroom is a great replacement to mocked meat as it has great taste and make nice soup, I have bought the [seasoned hedgehog mushroom pack]

in the vegetarian minimart in Singapore- See picture)

* MSG to taste (not necessary to add salt as it is salty enough by the vegetable itself)


Preparation:

Boil a pot of water in a family-size pot. Add in the Sichuan vegetables slices and vegetarian Mocked Meat.

Bring to boil for about 5 minutes. Thereafter simmer at medium or low heat for about another 25 mins.　Add MSG to taste.

There you are ready to serve !

Suggested garnishing; red cut chilli in dark soy sauce.

這是一道簡單做的開胃湯。我只用了四川菜和素食肉。因爲若加其它材料味道會太“複雜”。這湯配白飯或炒飯都很讚！

(一家人份）　　　　　　　　準備時間：～３０分鐘

素食材料（請用無蛋的材料）：


＊四川菜（請看照片，大概一半，洗乾淨切片狀）
用水清洗後，烹煮之前在水中浸泡大概一小時避免過咸。

＊素食肉/猴頭菇(一種蘑菇）
（猴頭菇適合用來取代素食肉因爲口感很Q，而且適合煮湯，能讓湯味加分，可買冷凍包裝的猴頭菇或新鮮猴頭菇，個人在新加坡齋料店買了《調味冷凍猴頭菇》，味道非常好-請看圖片）

＊味精（適量調味，因該不需要加鹽了，因爲四川菜本身已經是咸的）


準備：

用家庭式的鍋子煮水，加切好的四川菜、素食肉。先用大火煮５分鐘然後再用小火或中火煮大概２５分鐘。加適量味精調味。

完成了！

提議：可以沾黑醬油和切辣椒。
