Directions
Asian Cabbage Soup, Slowly caramelized onions with lots of garlic and a mushroom stock give this thick soup it depth of flavor. If you like, stir a few drops of toasted sesame oil into each bowl. Enjoy! Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook., I made this recipe and tweaked it straight out the gate so that i could use up all my ingredients. Proportions stayed pretty much the same with a few exceptions. In my mushroom base broth I added four 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth after letting the mushrooms soak and gently boiled it for the full 30 minutes. I also added some shimeji mushrooms at the very end once I had turned the stove off and let them warm up in the broth. used a higher ratio of daikon and onion, too, and added a bit of sesame oil. When straining I made sure to smash the veggies of the broth base against the colander for max flavor. Overall it made a really great broth with nice flavors. I could see using a broth like this for a ramen or wonton soup. used all the ginger called for and double the chili pepper paste. I also added a little bit of soy sauce. I’ll definitely make this again., I usually like all these ingredients, but something about the combo just wasn’t for me. The broth was too much on the ginger/chilli side, the other flavours were over powered. I might give this a try again but just cut out the chili and cut the ginger down.
