Salted Vegetables & Tofu Soup (咸菜豆腐汤)



I always like salted vegetables and tofu soup, a bit of sour & salty taste, serve with rice...wow, tasty!

I was so excited to find the mustard vegetables when we went to Asian market as i missed this soup so much since we came to State.  Though the mustard vegetables does not taste quite like the salted vegetables, but it did satisfy my crave for the salted vegetables & tafu soup for now.  :)     

Ingredients:
  • 1.5L water
  • 200g salted vegetables (cut into pieces) 
  • 100g lean pork meat (sliced)
  • 1/2 package of a medium firm tofu (cut to cube)
  • 4-5 mushrooms (soak in water for 'bout 20min, then cut into pieces)
  • 2 tomatoes (sliced)
  • Salt (to taste - optional)

Step:
  1. Bring 1.5L of water to boil in a pot, add the pork meat and salted vegetables
  2. Cook on medium heat for 20mins 
  3. Add the tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes and simmer under medium-low heat for 30-40mins
  4. Serve warm with rice, tasty!

Note:
  • Add 1-2 sour plums to complete the taste (i will always add this when i cooked in my hometown, since this is not easily found here, i omitted it this round)
  • The measurement of the ingredients serve as a reference as i normally cook using my judgement and preference on how much to put for each ingredients.  ;P
