See our Ingredients Glossary for more information on the Chinese black vinegar, which is used in several of our other recipes, like this Seared Asian Salmon w/ Lemon Cilantro Edamame Puree or as a dipping sauce for these dumplings. You can get the fried crullers in the refrigerated section near the tofu and noodles. Just toast them quickly in the oven at 325 degrees until crispy, and add them to this soup. Or, you can make our Homemade Youtiao recipe.
Another interesting ingredient is the pickled mustard root, which you can find in the Chinese grocery store.
Recipe Instructions
In a pot, heat up the soy milk. In a serving bowl, add a couple teaspoons Chinese black vinegar, salt and white pepper to taste, a drizzle of sesame oil, a couple teaspoons pickled mustard stem, and the chili oil and dried shrimp, if using (you can adjust the quantities of all these ingredients according to your own taste). Pour in the hot soy milk and let stand for a minute, without stirring. Garnish with chopped scallion and Chinese fried dough (you tiao). Serve!
