The Best Hot and Sour Soup on Planet Earth
October 17th, 2005. Chanoodle's transcendent Hot and Sour Soup. A reason to remain alive.
Identifiable components: bamboo shoots (sliced very thin), tofu bits, ragged particles of egg (egg microdrops), fungus, lily buds.
Unidentifiable goodies may well be some form of seaweed. Or something completely different. And one large-ish lump of jelly (tapioca) seemed to be there by accident, and which I discarded.
Dark, thick, woodsy. No real meat flavor (in fact vegetarian, according to the Chanoodle folks).
But the thing that distinguishes this Hot and Sour from other, inferior versions is the strength of the hot and sour flavors - it really is both. Like a super-savory liquid pickle.
Mother of fuck, is that a good soup.
