Great idea about blanching the bamboo shoots. I've previously just rinsed them. Thanks.

I'm going for it! Thanks for posting and thanks also to others who have left helpful comments.

I love hot and sour soup and this one looks fantastic. I want to get my hands on a bowl of that.

This looks so good. Would like some now, I will try to make it. Thanks.

I was on board until the 8 cups of cilantro at the end. and I like cilantro.

"Making soup calms me down. Beat your eggs !". I bet the eggs don't quite agree with you.

Looks good. I clearly made a few mistakes when making this from scratch, so I'll probably use this recipe next time.

I tried your soaked garlic technique and it worked well thanks Jeremy.

I spent several years honing my hot and sour soup recipe (i usually make it at least once a month). This recipe is pretty close to mine, and slightly more elaborate ... for example, I usually use some coarsely chopped mung bean sprouts (for crunch) if I dont have bamboo shoots or preserved veg (ex: baby corn) handy, and I usually like a little minced pork (for flavor and texture). From memory, your ingredients look pretty spot on, right down to the black vinegar (a must), snd the small touch of sugar to balance the salt, pepper and umami. However, the dish is all about balance, so I wont know for sure until I try it.

Hey Jeremy & colleagues - I'm thinking of making this for the first time but was thinking of either using shrimp instead of chicken, or using both in the soup. Doable?

Jeremy, Not sure how authentic it is but I first had this on HK island many years ago and they used lashings of cracked black pepper to give a different heat so when I make it at home that is how I do it. Like the videos. Mike (down under)

I'm sure this version is quite good, but . I prefer using pork slices, pickled daicon radish. Everything else great.

What is the name of the pickled-citron-mustard-vegetable powder?

Keep going, you're the best! Thanks!!!:-)

I guess it's time to go grocery shopping and try this out... hungryyyy hahah

I often make hot & sour soups. I add a quarter of a teaspoon of sesame oil to the eggs.

Оригинално! 🙂

Elder trees you get a lot of the ear mushrooms. Especially on old dead beaches.

Jeremy, in my travels I have come across 2 versions of the hot and sour soup (from the North and the other from the South) one that uses chilies for the spice and the other uses pepper. If I am honest I prefer the pepper version and I always make it more sour with extra vinegar. However, I will try your version and see how I get on.

Hi Jeremy what bran d is the cook top you use I have never come across one that woks sit down into is it induction electric or gas and what brand is it we live in australia .Regards Dean from oz

Best for hangover minus tofu, never had tofu nor do I want to try it, looks like Greek cheese

White pepper in the website recipe but Jeremy seems to have forgotten it. I'd guess it probably best added when you take the soup off the heat

How to make coconut chicken / shrimp 🍻

YEEHAAA -- what a great lookin job yu did -- looks like it was not your first time -- ahahaha -- and the finished soup looks like some I had about 25 years ago when a new place opened up here in N.C. USA - it was being looked over by a guy from china that could barely speak english -- he was very peculiar about the hot and sour soup they made there - always checking on their work -- after he left to go to other restaurants - I think that was his job - the soup went downhill to the point of boxed stuff being used -- with MSG being used in it of all things - it was not anything like his soup - I would drive about 40 miles one way just to get soup and crab Rangoons - way better than the dozens and dozens of restaurants I have visited -- made my mouth water before and while eating - my favorite food it became -- nothing better to this day - sure do miss that particular taste -- toe curling taste it was -- yours looks like his -- unlike others somewhat -- where is it that I may get the ingrediencies without MSG in it to use -- even if i have to order from your country -- any suggestions ? ! ? - funny how yu make it look so easy -- ahahahaha -- I have eaten it at every place I go -- not the same --

It's Labor Day today, I just made this Hot & Sour Soup put slice napa cabbage instead of bamboo shoots, a lot of ginger paste, tiny slices of ginger, dried chili pepper, left over rotisserie chicken, etc. did the rest as to his instruction...well it's yummy 😏 Thx for posting this vid.

Need some Rain-X for the glasses? That’s an idea I may just try myself, actually.

Did I miss something? No sugar? Also, I was taught to add the vinegar at the end, so the sourness does not get cooked down. It looks very good though. Never tried it with that preserved vegetable, gotta try that.

I loves preserved vegetables.

I love this channel. I need a carbon steel wok. I delaminated my non stick wok trying to cook like you.

Been my favourite since I was 9 years old and had it on my birthday at a restaurant in Chinatown Manchester

My fiance's Chinese living in China and he has told me that the Heat one gets from hot and sour soup is strictly black pepper. He is right because I have overused black pepper on a couple of occasions and couldn't eat the recipe it was so hot.

Brilliant.

Thanks!!!!!

Oh and use white pepper too.

I have never had hot and sour soup that contained meat. It did however contain some sort of meat to make the broth along with mushrooms and tofu and other vegetables but no meat. Somehow putting pieces of meat in a hot and sour soup seems wrong.

Can I have the name of pickled veg you used from the packet please so I can buy some thank you 🙏

I can put what ever I want in my soup? Nice. Now I know what to do with my mysterious animal meat.

Hi, looks great 👍, does this freeze well?

No lily or lotus buds?

I absolutely love hot and sour soup but haven't had any for several years. I sadly developed an allergy to chili peppers. Is there any alternative source of heat that can be used?

jeremy, please explain the pickeled veg in the packet. I need to order it, or find it at my asian grocer.. please help. I dont understand what you meant in the video. I need a name brand, or a place to order it. thanks in advance. .... Love your Hot and sour soup video, it has inspired me to make this as a staple in my home. We had great hot and sour soup at a local restaurant, but he moved away. we also have very mediocre and underwhelming hot and sour soup available. Hence . I will make it at home. After all, eating very well at home, is the new going out to eat.

at 3:17 is this pickeled mustard greens???

What if I cant find black vinegar what can I use instead ?

That fungus, here in the UK grows on alder, and is rather politically discorrectly known as Jew's Ear Fungus. It is pretty common and easily collected. It dries well too.

Please make a Hppy Family recipe. I can not find a good one

Hi Jeremy need to know if you did a video on Pad Thai noodles recipe already. I wld like to try to do it. Thanks again II have never eaten tofu can you explain how it taste cause I know to make d pad thai u have to use tofu but can you use smthing else if I dont like it. Thanks again Jeremy from Trinidad come try our foods

can you substitute the chicken broth for beef? I'm allergic to chicken.. ;-\

This was wonderful. thanks for sharing it.

Jeremy, video suggestion(s): Picking, preparing, cleaning, maintaining other kitchen tools besides the wok, ie your knives, cutting boards, other pans etc And I'd love to see one on basic knife/cleaver techniques *Thank you again for your vids. They are very entertaining and educational.

No white pepper....?

Any thoughts on adding a handful of peas (or petit pois)? My first introduction to Hot and Sour Soup had peas in it.

could you teach us to make tofu

mad scientist:)

Lovely!

This recipe looks good. BUT there are a lot of bad recipes for this soup. All are loaded with ingredients. Trying a new recipe can turn out to be a long, expensive, failed experiment. I've tried a lot of bad recipes before I found a good one. The important part of this soup is getting the broth right. Suggestions.... 1. before adding all the ingredients, try making just the broth. Don't waste all the extra ingredients till you are sure the broth is good. This is only common sense. eg...when trying a new recipe for sweet and sour shrimp... first do a test batch of the sauce. Shrimp is too expensive to add to an experimental sauce. 2. for heat in hot and sour soup, use white pepper ( a chinese chef taught me this). It's a nice clean heat without all the weird flavours that other hot ingredients often have. Weird hot sauces and pastes often kill the overall flavour of the soup. 3. shredded black mushrooms.... buy them in a bag dehydrated and pre shredded. Just throw in a handful. Soaking and cutting mushrooms is a big waste of time and you can never cut them as well as the bagged ones. Not many Chinese restaurants waste time cutting those tough, slippery mushrooms.

How can i eat????where do you cook at,??????

Amazing

Happy to see you used chicken instead of pork so a Jew like me can eat it.... My favorite soup.... Thanks....

You forgot to add the eye of newt.....

love your video ..🤓 .... yvummy

I like the recipe from "Souped Up Recipes"....it seems you forgot the white pepper, which I thought was key. otherwise, good show, but Lee, we need to see the food more than your talking face, we love you man!

Looks good but "easy" isn't how I'd describe this.

I hate wood ear! It's like you can never chew it all the way it's just rubber bands! I eat around it in my hot and sour soup or I swallow it whole if it's short enough.

Love your accent. Need the brand of all the ingredients.

Even an "easy" hot & sour soup is a 20 ingredient dish!

Hi there could you please make sanpei chicken, i just subscribe to your channel appologies if i didnt see your channel that much. Thanx

You know what else calms me down? Beating my eggs 😏

I think you're so cute Jeremy, and you cant speak Chinese? but you have a heavy accent.. like you were designed to speak Chinese.. gosh You're so cute..:) ..

ถ่ายทำไมน่ามัน ถ่ายเครื่องปรุงสิ

Jeremy bangs his utensils too loudly and frequently.

_"IT'S RAW!! YOU DONKEY!!"_

I disagree that this is a simple-to-prepare soup. The prep takes a couple of hours. I don't care for egg strands in the soup. It's nicer with clear broth.

So simple just buy 15 things off the internet that you can’t find at a store anywhere near you!

Too much work, for such low price point.

Don´t like tofu. This is not a soup actually, it is kind of thick stew.

That camera bouncing up and down made me seasick 🤢

It may be hot and it may be sour, but it's not hot and sour soup.

Not easy at all.

Makes me feel dizzy. The move ment of the camera did it. Plus the over confident face of the cook. Damn it.

You are not that good looking. So please focus the camera more in to what you are cooking.
