REQ: Hot and Sour Soup

[Fishing Fool]

I am looking for a recipe for Chinese Hot and Sour soup. I have
searched all my recipe websites, but have not found one.

I don't know if this is authentic or not, but I will be going on a post
operative clear liquid diet soon and am looking for ideas.

Thanks,
Rudy

BTW, in addition to other suggestions, this is a real good traditional
one, too :-)

I have worked in the medical profession and I can tell you that Hot and
Sour soup is not something that would be part of a post operative clear
liquid diet.

Hey, Rudy, Zoey, another poster, seems to be right. If so, here is the
kind of recipes that my parents always make for us when we are sick (I
myself have used fish nuggets or fillets + scollops for ingredients too)
- Chinese rice soup, which is excellent as for liquid diet and a nice
variety even in some other occassions. In addition to the one here, I
also add a couple of links at the end:

Happy cooking+surfing

*******************************
Jook (rice soup)

"This recipe was posted (by Nate) on the Aloha.com site. The author
writes that he learned this recipe from his mother, who used to make it
with the head or feet of a roast pig. In addition to turkey bones, he has
made it with sliced beef, sliced pork, and spareribs."

Ingredients
Turkey bones
1/2 cup rice, uncooked, washed
6 cups water
1 teaspoon rock salt (or to your taste)
1/2 cup raw peanuts

Garnish:
Chopped lettuce
Chung choi, chopped fine*

Garnishes**
Chinese parsley, chopped
Green onions, chopped
Shoyu or oyster sauce
Sesame oil

Directions:
Put the bones, water, and rice into a slow cooker and cook on low heat
for 4 - 6 hours. When it is nearly ready, place each of the garnishes in
individual small bowls.
When the jook is ready, stir and place in bowls. Place the garnish on the
tables and let everyone garnish to their own taste.

*Chung choi is Chinese salted preserved cabbage. Dice it and sprinkle on
the jook.
**Other ingredients you might want to use as a garnish include Chinese
pickled vegetables, sliced salted duck eggs, and chopped daikon.

First to all those who answered. I can't wait to try the recipes. I
do have a question. If I strained all the solids out, would this be
acceptable? I am having gastric bypass surgery so have to have
liquids for like 3-5 weeks after surgery and am not looking forward to
it, but that might change when I see how I feel <slight grin>.

Thanks,
Rudy

I agree, hot & sour soup (or anything spicy) might not be a good post-operative
diet idea. The "jook" is somewhat like a chicken & rice soup with the rice
cooked really really tender so it is easy to digest and provide good nutrients.
Fish is an excellent substitute for chicken. If you are concern about the
fish(y) taste, you can add a piece of ginger root when cooking.

Wishing you speedy recovery!

I think bland to mild is better for you than hot and sour. Hot and sour
tends to cause heartburn and acid reflux. :)

Rice soup is an excellent idea. Soft pork meatballs added or soft shredded
chicken work very well.
