Asian Noodle Soup with a Myriad of Mushrooms and Lots of Scallions

This Asian-style soup is a treat for mushroom aficionados. Scallion Pancakes (page 157) are a good accompaniment. This is a perfect introduction to a simple meal of stir-fried vegetables with tofu.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

1 recipe Asian Mushroom Broth (page 15), with trimmed shiitake mushrooms
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 scallions, white and green parts, sliced
6 to 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, any variety, cleaned and sliced
One 15-ounce can Asian mushrooms, such as straw, abalone, or oyster mushrooms (leave straw mushrooms whole; coarsely chop abalone or oyster), undrained
One 6-ounce can sliced water chestnuts, undrained
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 to 4 ounces rice-stick noodles
Reduced-sodium soy sauce to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the broth according to the recipe.

    Step 2

    Heat the oil in a soup pot, then add the garlic and white parts of the scallions and sauté over medium-low heat for 2 or 3 minutes.

    Step 3

    Add the broth, green parts of the scallions, fresh mushrooms, canned mushrooms with liquid, water chestnuts with liquid, and rice vinegar. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.

    Step 4

    Dissolve the cornstarch in just enough water to make it pourable, and stir into the soup. Break up the rice-stick noodles and add them to the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente.

    Step 5

    Season with soy sauce and pepper, and adjust the consistency with water if the soup is too dense. Serve at once.
