How to Make Chinese Hot And Sour Soup Lite
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms and carrots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the tofu, wood ear mushrooms (if using), and chili garlic sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more chili garlic sauce for extra heat, if desired.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot with a side of rice (optional). Enjoy!
