Learn a simple classic broth that kids would love!

This is another exceedingly easy to cook soup that you can serve to your family or guests.  And the cooking time?  Less than 20 minutes!

Kids love the tofu and if they are adventurous, they can try the shrimp.  If you want to have a better texture with the tofus, use the Japanese cotton beancurd as it is extremely smooth. And if you like it “hot”, put aside the servings for the kids, then add in some red hot chilli for a spicier version.

  • 1/2 tsp cornflour

Seasoning:

  • 3/4 tsp salt, pepper
  • 1tsp sesame oil

Sauce:

  • 21/2tbsps cornflour
  • 1/4 cup water

  2. Wash straw mushrooms. Blanch and dice.
  3. Mix minced pork with marinade.
  4. Break beancurd into small pieces with a fork.
