Hello everyone. Today I'm going to share a delicious recipe for cabbage, egg, and tofu
soup. This cabbage tofu soup is fresh, flavorful, and incredibly tasty. Let me show you how I make
it. First, we need to prepare a fresh head of cabbage. The cabbage we have today is quite large.
It weighs about four to five pounds. We'll tear off the cabbage leaves one by one,
then place them in a basin. Add some water to clean the cabbage. Cabbage grows in layers,
so there may be dust or insect eggs inside. So we need to clean it thoroughly. Once cleaned,
tear the cabbage leaves into smaller pieces. We only need the cabbage leaves for this recipe.
Tear all the leaves into uneven small pieces and place them into a large bowl.
Once all the cabbage is torn, set it aside. Next, prepare a block of soft tofu. Cut the tofu in
half, then slice it into two centimeter strips. Finally, cut it into small cubes. Make sure to
choose soft tofu. Firm tofu isn't as tasty for this dish. After cutting the tofu, add a spoonful
of salt. Then pour in a bowl of water to cover the tofu. Soak the tofu for about 15 minutes to
remove the bean smell. Next, prepare a small bowl. Crack three to four eggs into the bowl.
Adjust the number of eggs based on how many people are eating. Once the eggs are ready,
prepare a piece of ginger. Slice it thinly and then cut it into julienne strips.
Set the ginger aside in a bowl. Next, prepare a bunch of green onions.
Separate the white and green parts. Chop the green onion leaves into small pieces and place
them in a bowl. Next, prepare another small bowl. Add two spoons of cornstarch, then fill the bowl
with water. Stir it well to make a flurry. Set this aside for later. Now heat a little oil in a pan.
Once the oil is hot, crack the eggs into the pan. Fry the eggs slowly on low heat. Add a pinch of
salt for seasoning. Let the eggs cook slowly until the bottom is set. Once the bottom is golden,
gently shake the pan. Let it cook for about one minute, then flip the eggs. Fry the other side
until golden brown. This method will make the eggs extra delicious. Once all the eggs are fried and
set, cut them into smaller pieces. Then add the ginger strips into the pan. Next, pour in hot water.
Make sure the water is boiling. Add the tofu into the pot. Use a spoon to gently stir the
ingredients together. Stir it until evenly mixed. This will make the egg tofu cabbage soup taste
really good. Let it simmer for about a minute. Now start thickening the soup. Add one spoon of
cornstarch slurry at a time. Stir it in well. We'll need to thicken the soup in two to three stages.
After the first addition, stir and then add the second spoon. Stir it well again. Once thickened,
add the cabbage leaves into the soup. Quickly mix it all together. Then add a spoon of salt,
a pinch of chicken powder, a little soy sauce, and a bit of sugar to enhance the flavor.
Finally, drizzle some sesame oil on top. Stir everything together evenly. Friends, if you've
