Hot and Sour Soup 酸辣湯
Traditional Sichuan hot and sour soup will have pork, pork blood, ham, tofu, black fungus, bamboo shoots, black (shiitake) mushrooms, carrots, egg, vinegar, soy sauce and a potato starch slurry. Plus the star is the white pepper powder. Over the years, there are many variations such as tomato, chicken, dried lily flowers, bean sprouts, ginger, and enoki mushrooms. It’s so easy to convert this to a vegetarian dish or even vegan dish. The weight of the ingredients I’ve listed can be increased, decreased or omitted depending on your preferences. Keep in mind that the amount that I added was a good amount to make the soup hearty.

Seafood Fish Broth Rice Vermicelli 魚湯海鮮米線
You can use a whole fish to make the soup. I used fish bones and odd pieces of fresh fish meat that I got from a fish monger. Since we’re not eating the fish that we use for the stock, I didn’t mind getting the irregular pieces. It’s much more economical this way. I didn’t use any part of the head to prevent creating a fishy odour in my house. If you feel like splurging….crab, lobster and/or gooey duck would be awesome! You could also add luffa (shenggua) to make the broth sweeter. Another common ingredient is pickled mustard greens to add some sourness to the dish. It’s also common to add Sichuan peppercorns and chilis to make it spicy. For those who like cilantro, you can add a bunch to add more flavour.
