    📕 What is this hot and sour soup?

    Hot and Sour soup is usually a Chinese Soup variety prepared with spicy hot chilies and souring agents such as vinegar.

    Nonetheless, other Asian countries, such as Thailand and Vietnam, have their own version of hot and sour soups.

    Besides that, in the US, hot and sour soups are common as well.

    Popular restaurant chains such as Panda Express and Pf Chang popularized this amazing tasting Asian dish and made it their own!

    Today's hot and sour soup recipe is Asian influenced, but doesn't belong to one particular cuisine.

    Besides, this soup includes sweet corn (adding sweetness) and noodles.

    The noodles balance the flavors and turn this dish into a 20-min wholesome fusion Asian noodle dish, which you won't be able to resists.

    Easy Hot and Sour Soup with Noodles and Sweet Corn

    🧅 Ingredients

    For this hot and sour, I decided to add fresh ingredients including leeks, sweet corns, and mushrooms.

    I adore leeks combined with sour, acidic flavors!

    Sweet Corn just balances out the flavors, adds crunch and nutritious elements.

    The mushroom adds another element of texture and a depth of flavor.

    More aroma and a certain saltiness are added with soy sauce and fish sauce (veg fish sauce to make this soup vegetarian) to the soup.

    The heat is created with red Chili flakes (which also look nice as garnish) and some Black Pepper.

    I add mouthwatering acidic flavors with rice vinegar and lime juice.

    To complete these flavors, I add brown sugar.

    The sweetness is like a link between heat, acidity, and saltiness. Don't skip that!

    For the noodles, I use simply egg noodles, however, you can use gluten-free or low-carb rice noodles or Japanese buckwheat soba noodles.

    This hot and sour soup doesn't impose country-specific rules.

    It's a soup that you can customize to your liking, and this is what makes it so fun and enjoyable!

    You can also add or exchange the fresh veggies with the following ingredients.

    • Dried Shiitake Mushrooms rehydrated and sliced (for more umami flavor)
    • Bok Choy
    • Napa Cabbage (Chinese Cabbage) or regular Cabbage
    • Carrot
    • Spring Onions
    • Spinach
    • Green Peas
