Hum Choy Tofu Soup
Hum Choy Tofu Soup is currently one of my favorite soup – why? because besides the lotus root soup – this one is also pretty successful. In fact, i think i might just have mastered it – with tomatoes and ginger now added and tofu a well – it’s a perfect soup if only the brat would eat some hum choy. Hum Choy also known as pickled mustard is a great buy because it is so saltish and can be kept for a long time before you cook them. I missed Mui Choy Soup and Mui Choy Kau York but alas, I never ever found Mui Choy anywhere around here.
I remember when i was a kid – my mom didn’t like cooking this soup – because she said it was very “leong” – not good for the boys at home. But here during the summer – i think it’s one of the best kinda soup. This soup is so cheap and so easy to cook, everyone should have them at least once a month if not more. What kind of soup would you think is the most nutritious, cheap and easy to cook…?? share your recipe with me can..??
i’ve to try making this soup!;)
i would greatly appreciate it if you would allow me to watch mol with you. its getting too excited!! if you can link me to the pw & website where ican either stream but preferably dl the last two episode would be great! thank you once again!!
looks good
Watercress soup! Not sure if you can get watercress, but if you can, it’s so good and sweet(naturally, no sugar added).
I blanch about a lb. of pork bones to get all the gross stuff out. Then put in pot with cold water. When it starts to boil, I throw in the watercress (usually about 2 lbs or so), carrots, and some red dates. Also, if you can get some dried duck gizzards to add, that’s good, too. It takes maybe 2 hours at the longest. My mom told me not to over boil this type of soup. This soup is also “lerng” and perfect for summer.
have u tried old cucumber soup? it’s nice
