Salted Cabbage With Tofu Soup

Our second recipe for this week is a soup......and again, it's another simple dish that's gonna impress your taste bud. FYI, all of the recipes that will make an entrance in this blog this week are those of the healthy ones - which is of course, in parallel with my diet regime.....hehehe.

This particular recipe was inspired by the soup I had in Qing Zhen Chinese Muslim Restaurant @ Novotel Hotel a couple of weeks ago. I had lunch there with my other colleagues while entertaining our counterpart from Japan. It was a dim sum lunch buffet where one of the menu was the Salted Vegetable With Bean Curd Soup.

I fell in love with it the moment it makes physical contact with my tounge. The sourish taste of the salted cabbage blend in very well with the plain taste of the tofu. I love this particular soup very much that I planned to construct the recipe myself. This way, I could have it as often as I wish to. Based on my visual observation & the sensitivity of my tongue, I managed to come up with the recipe - with some modifications to localize the taste.

So, here are all the ingredients required :

Cooking it tremendously easy.

1. Fry the ginger, garlic & the crushed white pepper with a bit of oil, till fragrant.

2. Add in the chicken & continue frying for a minute or so.

3. Then, add in the water & wait till it boils.

4. Put in the salted vege & tofu. Salt to taste.

5. Finally add the leaks & turn off the flame.

6. You can now enjoy your soup - jangan lupa Bismillah !
