Man-chow soup recipe with a step by step photos. Man-chow soup is a spicy and hot soup made from a mixed vegetables. A vegan in a recipe.
Apart from a Hot and sour soup, man chow soup and Tom yum soup are some of the soups we are order from a Chinese takeaways and in a restaurants.
As a always for a proteins, I have a added in a mushrooms. You can be add tofu or sprouts. I do not get a good quality tofu here and hence they do not get added to the soups or a any stir fries.
In the Indian Chinese restaurants, in the man-chow soup is a served with a fried noodles. just to give a restaurant like a flavor, I also added in a fried noodles. I was a making both in the soup and veg chow-me in together and hence kept some noodles for a frying. You can be a completely skip the fried noodles part and serve in the soup as it is.
In a restaurants, what they are serve is a thick soup, which we do not a prefer. So I add in a less corn starch in the soup. Thickness can be a easily adjusted by adding more or a less of the corn starch.
Serve man-chow soup as a starter with a any Indio Chinese main course like a Hakka noodles or a veg noodles or veg fried rice or burnt garlic fried rice or Singapore fried rice.
