Hot & Sour Soup 101 酸辣湯 | Hunger Pangs

[@rudyvel]

This is going to be wonderful during the fall! We love hot and sour soup and my BF is going to be impressed! Thank you Father and son Pang! I love your videos 🤩

I agree. I'm in Montana and it's just starting to come into autumn. In fact, I just passed my favorite Chinese food earlier and almost stopped for hot and sour soup 🍲

Sizzling Rice Soup is my all time favorite...love the flavor of toasty rice...and the sound of the sizzle when the soup hits the hot oily rice.

[@mddell58]

Interesting. I've never heard of that. I'll have to do a little research on it. 👍

[@dudleydeplorable5307]

Another great choice...!

[@smal1393]

We had been going to a Seattle restaurant since the mid 1970's that served excellent Sizzling Rice Soup. The restaurant was started by a first generation (legal) immigrant family, and the restaurant had passed through a couple of family generations. I moved out of the city in the early 1990's and happily drove over an hour to get the soup. Sadly, they were recently forced to close due to street crime and the homeless invasion.

[@rudyvel]

I'd never had that until my mom's friend ordered it when we ate out. I've always ordered it ever since if it's on the menu! 😋

[@spears104]

After trying several "you tube" recipes... this is finally it! This is the delicious soup I get a Chinese restaurants! Thank you!

[@charoleawood]

"Souped Up Recipes" has a very good recipe. So does Food Wishes.

[@cynthia1231]

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! It's my comfort 🍲 Soup and the Soup I crave when I have a cold and not feeling well. It's just the best! Thank you for showing me how to do this. I live in an area that DOESN'T DELIVER my favorite Hot and Sour Soup 🍲 so this is a Blessing. Much Love!💗

[@djmoocahking]

I love how they throw shade at each other so kindly, very humorous, embodies the love and flavor that goes into cooking.

[@nancy-loupolk9301]

My favorite Chinese restaurant just closed due to retirement. Black Pearl in Shoreline, Washington. Best hot and sour soup. Have never eaten any other soup that matches it. They included tiny shredded pork and some black seaweed kind of stuff. Gonna miss that version of soup so much. But this recipe and steps give me hope to try and make my own. Thanks to the chef and tiny dragon. Whoops, dancing lion.

[@rockshot100]

I could eat this soup every day, IF made properly. It is always on a "chinese buffet" and terrible. This is a very easy recipe, but caution, go to an Asian market to get the ingredients at 20% of the price of the specialty section of your grocery. Can somebody help me? I had it a couple of times with a thing that looked like a slimy black flower or mushroom, what was that? I am a chef and cook all the french stuff, this is different. Never saw the cornstarch added to the egg but great idea. I drizzeled the egg to simmering soup, and one stir with one chop stick, it worked. This is more foolproof. Don't think they mentioned not to forget the green onion and the fried wonton noodles on top. Golly, thanks, you guys made my day! The very best soup in the WORLD.

[@C2C.]

That black flower of mushroom is the wood ear fungus that Mr. Pang showed as an alternative to the shiitake. My mother's recipe includes wood ear along with shiitake (dried is fine, if you can't find fresh). Just be sure to soak the wood ear before adding it to the soup. (Speaking of flower, some people also add dried lily buds. These are brown an usually tied into a knot before adding to the soup.)

[@idellasheart]

Thank you for this recipe video, we love hot and sour soup but many restaurants make it too thick or greasy. I made this today, loved the tip for the egg, I never knew how to get that silky texture when I make egg drop at home. I followed the recipe exactly but held back a little heat, knowing I could add more if needed and we loved it! Followed tips for the tofu and my tofu stayed intact while eating our soup, it did not fall apart like it has when not pressing it. Only thing I added, was about 1/8 tsp grated orange rind and thinly sliced garlic chives for garnish. Thanks again! It is delicious

[@Marketsolo]

For years I only ate wonton soup..then one day in my 40s I suddenly made a switch and tried my husband's hot and sour soup. What a revelation! I used to go by a certain Chinese restaurant just for a quart of their hot and sour soup. Sadly, for some reason several years ago they took it off the menu! So, I have tried several recipes and other restaurants but haven't found my new favorite yet. I hope this is it!

[@b_uppy]

Some places will still make something even if its been removed from the menu. Ask, you might be pleasantly surprised.

[@brandonl2555]

…sooooo…is it your new favorite?!

[@Metoobie]

I go with dried mushrooms, both shiitake and wood ear (Chinese black fungus). Rinse them first quickly and then soak them, add some dried chilies to the soak if you like spice. Instead of using just plain water, use the water from your soak! That water is pure gold! I add konbu as well just to bump up the complexity of flavours. Definitely try to use white pepper. White vinegar is a decent substitute for black vinegar in a pinch, but black vinegar is a whole new level. I add it closer to the end so the flavour doesn't cook off. A great garnish is cilantro or chadon beni.

[@wendyjennings1502]

Yeah! Thank you both. I had no idea how to make this. You guys are really fun to watch. Glad to find ya'll!

[@Joan-qh8lw]

My favorite is hot and soup soup. I've been making ATK's recipe for years. It's a family favorite. Thank you!! I love your KZbin channel!

[@lepusmalignis1628]

My fav local Asian joint closed just a couple of years ago (owner died) and I was never able to squeeze that H/S soup recipe out of her in the 20 years that I ate there, no matter how many hugs I gave. I'll have to try to make this and see if I can at least get close to her bowls of spicy Ambrosia.

[@cynthiaacheson2716]

I like to add the cloud ear fungus/mushroom in addition to shiitakes, and usually add dried lily buds as well. Looks delicious!

[@mattbigchiefbradley1739]

I love hot and sour soup. It was my favorite when I was growing up when I was a kid going to Chinese restaurants I love it.

[@mrlapageisyourman]

Love Cook's Illustrated's recipe for hot and sour soup. I used to hate it as a kid but now I love it. This recipe is in regular rotation in our house. I just made it yesterday! So I was super thrilled to see Kevin and his dad Jeffrey do this recipe for Hunger Pangs 😄 Also just wanted to add I always put more black vinegar because I like mine really sour.

Good morning ATK Thanks for sharing your recipe. Salutations from California 😋

[@FlyTyer1948]

My favorite soup! I like the soak in salt water method for the tofu. Thank you sirs. Besides being a great everyday soup, it’s much better than chicken noodle soup for a cold, especially if you are congested.

[@mddell58]

Curious. Why do you prefer the salt method? I'm always learning more. 👍

[@dudleydeplorable5307]

We freeze the tofu. When thawed it's like a flavor sponge...

[@margihansen970]

Do you have a ratio of salt to water to soak the tofu in? For how long?

[@FlyTyer1948]

@@margihansen970 I don’t have a ratio. Sorry, I like the idea. I would guess using enough salt to taste like a brine.

[@FlyTyer1948]

@@mddell58 I haven’t tried it on tofu, but soaking meats prior to roasting makes most taste better. Salt will draw out moisture & some bitterness.

I grew up eating my Mom’s Thai-style soups, so those are my favorites, especially Thai wonton soup. For soup at a Chinese restaurant, Hot and Sour is my favorite, but it’s difficult to find one with a nice balance of heat and tang. Thank you for sharing this recipe! It looks so delicious and fairly easy to make.

My top three soups are borsht, split pea with ham, and hot and sour. When I lived in Michigan, I regularly went to a Thai restaurant in Dearborn, Bangkok 96. They had the absolute best hot and sour soup.

Oh my goodness, just landed on your video and channel for the first time. What made me stop was the Hot and Sour soup which is my absolute favorite at any Chinese restaurant!!!

Thank you for sharing this video and God bless you both.

[@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132]

[@italianguy607]

followed your recipe and absolutely LOVED it! XieXie!

[@NonNon-ku8ch]

Despite of ingredients substitutions, I successfully made this delicious soup today. I followed the instructions but used rice vinegar and balsamic vinegar instead of Chinese black black vinegar. Also I used low sodium soy sauce, 2 cans of low sodium chicken broth plus 2 cups of water and 2 teaspoons of Chinese soup base paste. I added some carrots and white pepper just before adding egg. I needed to add more cornstarch to get desired thickness. By the way, my favorite is pumpkin soup made with Kabocha pumpkin and half and half.

[@MinhNguyen-mo5fp]

Thank you ❤very cute father and son 😊

[@roderickcampbell2105]

Hi folks. Hot and Sour has been my favorite for ages. The balance between hot and sour is remarkable. I generally like it in the hot side but always willing to see what the chefs provide. The Hunger Pangs are great fun and great chefs. A great wonton soup is also awesome. The Lion was brilliant. Thanks.

I've always loved Hot n Sour soup, and the place I most often bought it has changed the recipe or something. I'm not sure if they make it in house or if they get it already prepared and heat it up, but it used to be like a broth, and now it has a gelatin-like consistency and the flavor is not the same. I will definitely be trying this recipe in the hopes that I can make it at home now.

[@orlandparkcounselors]

I ways WANT the jel consistency but none of the recipes on youtube make it that way

[@toddjohnson5692]

My favorite Chinese soup. I used to make a simplified version of this that only had chicken broth, corn starch, white pepper (lots for heat), vinegar, re-hydrated shitake mushrooms since I couldn't get fresh, tofu (like yours), pork, and bamboo shoots. I cut everything into matchstick size. No egg or soy sauce etc since I was a bit poor at the time and had limited space in my tiny apartment fridge. But it was close enough to what I'd had at a local restaurant to make me happy. I'm sure your soup is better. I could get about 4 meals out of it.

[@johnd.9]

This may come as a shock to some people, but my favorite soup is hot and sour soup with wontons. The broth that is used for wonton soup is in my opinion very Bland. My personal favorite way to eat wonton soup is to place the wontons from the wonton soup into a bowl of delicious hot and sour soup. Unfortunately, I have to do this at home because I have yet to find a Chinese restaurant here in Eastern Canada that will prepare me such a dish.
