Manchow Soup...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: ,

This Manchow soup is one of the most popular soup in indo chinese restaurants of india...This soup is always my first preference whenever i order soups in chinese restaurants as its very spicy and tasty and i always prefer spicy food:-)...Since its one of my favourite soup ,i was trying this soups recipe to get exactly the restaurant taste and finally succeeded in it .It tasted exactly like restaurant version and was healthy also as i had added lot of veges and also not added any msg.I had tried both versions veg manchow soup and chicken manchow soup.Here i am posting the basic veg version and to make the chicken manchow soup i have listed the changes below.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped capsicum
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup spring onions chopped(whites and greens seperated)
  • 1/2 cup chopped corainder(optional)
  • 5 cups vegetable stalk
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
  • 1 table spoon finely sliced green chillis
  • 1 tablespoon dark soya sauce
  • 1-2 tablespoon red chilli sauce
  • 1 table spoon white vinegar/lemon juice
  • 1/2 tea spoon black pepper powder
  • 2 tablespoon cornflour
  • 2 cups boiled hakka noodles
  • 1/2 tea spoon sugar
  • 1 table spoon oil
  • salt

METHOD:

Heat oil in a pot.Add chopped ginger and garlic and saute for one min.Then add green chillis , spring onion whites and black pepper powder and saute for more 2 mins .Now add all the chopped vegetables and mushrooms and saute for 2 mins.

Then add the vegetable stalk and salt and let the mixture boil.When this mixture starts boiling add soya sauce, red chilli sauce, sugar and simmer for 4-5 mins.You can adjust the sauces according to your taste.I like it little spicy so i added them little more.

Mix the cornflour in 1/2 cup water and form a paste.Mix it well to avoid any lumps.Add this mixture to the cooking soup and stir well.Let it cook until it gets slightly thick.

While the soup is being cooked heat a wok.Add oil in it and deep fry the cooked noodles in it till light brown and crispy.Drain them on paper and let them cool. Fry the noodles when they are cooled after being cooked, do not fry hot boiled noodles.

Remove from flame and add vinegar and spring onion greens.Put it in a soup bowl and garnish with fried noodles and serve hot.

NOTE: If you do not have vegetable stalk you can add 2 vegetable seasoning cubes to plain water.
To make chicken manchow soup replace vegetable stalk with chicken stalk and add shredded boiled chicken and little scrambled egg to the above soup.
