Recipe - Hot And Sour Soup (Mf)

2 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 sl Fresh ginger (1/2t dried)
1 Clove garlic; minced
2 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
2 cup Water
2 tablespoon Rice vinegar
2 tablespoon Soy sauce
One half teaspoon Sugar
10 ounce Mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed;
thinly cut or sliced up
8 ounce Sliced bamboo shoots;
drained
One half pound Frozen cubed chicken breasts
(1/21 lb)
10 ounce Frozen petite peas; thawed
Salt
1 teaspoon Hot sauce or oriental chili
paste w/garlic

Heat the sesame oil in a large saucepan, over medium heat. Add the ginger
and garlic and saute until you can smell the aroma of the garlic, about 20
seconds.

Add the broth to the saucepan with the water, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and
mushrooms. Cover and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a
simmer and cook over moderate heat until the mushrooms are tender, about 5
minutes.

Add the bamboo shoots and chicken to the broth, bring the liquid back to a
simmer and cook, over low heat until the chicken is cooked through. Add the
peas and simmer 3 minutes longer or until heated through. Season to taste
with salt and serve the hot sauce on the side if you wish.

Yield: 4 servings
