Chinese Hot and Sour Soup
Easy Hot and Sour Soup - This tastes just like take-out except a gazillion times better! And it's so much easier to make than you think, and for the instant pot, just prep, set and forget for 30 min. (till it's time to add the eggs and corn starch. The soup is divine, with simple ingredients. This is one recipe you can have on the table in about 45 min (30 being cooking time.) What's not to love? With Fall coming on, this is the perfect time to make it. Warms the heart and soul. Chinese take-take out made right in your kitchen anytime you want it. Yum~
Start out with sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms and add to instant pot
Slice brick of tofu in half (length wise) then cut in half then into strips.
Add all ingredients to pot except eggs and corn starch mixture.
When cooking is done, add eggs, stream them in and they will form beautiful ribbons. I streamed them in, counted to 60 and stirred with a plastic spoon handle. Add Cornstarch mixture and stir until desired thickness is reached.
Serve hot, and enjoy this hot and sour soup with family and friends. This has the perfect heat for us, but if you like it really spicy you can add 1 tsp red pepper flakes. The heat is ultimately up to you. Enjoy~
Notes: You can also pressure cook on high pressure for 5 min with an instant release then add eggs and corn starch mixture.
