Bon Appetit!!!
1/2 pack of dried shitake mushrooms
1 pack of asian vermicelli noodles
1 bag of small cold water shrimp
2 packets of Hon-Dashi fish stock powder
1/4 pack of dried seeweed.
2-3 packs of fresh firm tofu
1 box of free range chicken broth
a few dashes of Tamari soy sauce.
This soup was experimental, and I got the ideas from different recipes on the internet. I am skeptical about how authentic this recipe is, but I can tell you one thing that it is very unschooled. Although the soup went down very well with my girlfriend and her family, and her co-workers at her job. I can say one thing that it must be really healthy with all the seaweed, mushrooms, and tofu. The only thing I was worried about was the MSG in the soup stock(Hon Dashi) that I used. I am not really familiar with their soup mixes so I was sure what to buy, and what was in my budget. This whole concoction cost about 30 dollars.
First my girlfriend took the mushrooms, and soaked them in the chicken broth for a few hours. They should be really soft when they have been soaking. Next step cut them into 2 or three pieces, and remove the stem, cause they are too chewy. Do not dump the broth. Take the broth, and the cut up mushrooms, and put them in a large soup pot. Add a small pot of water and bring to a boil. As the water heats up put a packet of the Hon Dashi into the pot. Along side of the soup pot, boil the vermicelli on a different pilot. You are supposed to boil it for 9 minutes although I feel it takes less time to make it soft than spaghetti, You can probably just add it to the soup and it will boil in there. Next throw the frozen shrimp into the pot. As the water boils, add another pot of water, and then add the dried seeweed. Use the seeweed sparingly, cause it expands as it hydrates. Add it a little at a time, or you will have much more than you expected. I also think that the seeweed should be hacked into pieces preferably, cause they get tangled up in long strips. Next cut up the the tofu into small cubes, and dump one pack at a time into the broth. I kept adding more water to make the soup go farther, or you could use another can or box of chicken broth to give it more flavor. Last add a few dashes of the soy sauce.
The key to this recipe is too use your noggin about how much to add. I used two packs of the soup stock, but you should season to taste. The seeweed is tricky, so don't add too much, and add as much vermacelli as you want. I was worried that although it is a tasty, but slightly murky soup, I thought it might get sickening after having a few bowls of it, cause it is something I am not used to eating. But all in all I kept consuming it days after I made it. I knew my mom wouldn't go for it, but like I said it is a very healthy, lite soup.
There are things that I could do to improve this recipe, like using large fresh shrimp. Also maybe substituting the dashi with somthing with less MSG, although that is what gives the broth a very asian flair.
This stew was derived from an authentic Thai soup recipe, that I prepared. I thought that there could have been more vegetables in the original recipe to make it more hardy and balanced. The original recipe was tasty, so I would imagine that along with all the vegetables, it will be more of a success, and a meal by itself.
