I got rave reviews from my friends who tasted it. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. Thinking that we use to go to Hot Wok just to have this soup is making me feel stupid!Never knew it was so easy!

Was it good? Caeser salad I mean. Let me know how the soup turned out if you ever try it.

@Jaspa, Maheshwari, Linda, kitchen table, Prema
Hope you like it. Thanks!

@Asha
Peanut sauce was my addition. I was trying to be creative:)

@Chandrika
Peanut sauce is not a part of the original recipe. i like it, so added it.

@@Swapna
will look into Jyothsna’s recipe too. Thanks.

@sushma
Yes, I have heard of MSG being ‘not-so-good’ for health. I bearly use a pinch in my Chinese and thai preps. Justa s taste enhansers. But as i have mentioned, it is totally optional. I may probably give up using it if I hear something real bad about it.

@Sandeepa
Buffet seems to be a good option for my first Chinese restaurant visit. Will check up for veg items beforehand. thanks.

@Trupti
We have a P.C.Chang here and a friend was talking about the veggie wrap too. Hmmm….thats where I am going next.

@Mishmash
You are welcome to have as much as you please

@Jacob
Singapore and China. You sure have had the most authentic chinese. Try this without MSG. you will like it for sure.

@sia
Yes, the green dot makes life easier for vegetarians. I dont thing the pakaged food in the US has such markings.

@Krithika
Hope you all are feeling better now. Take your time dear. Will wait for you comeback post.

@Archana
Thai peanut paste is a bottled paste that is available in stores in the USA. It can be made easily at home. There are various recipes online. Check it out.

Indo-Chinese is such a treat for me…and you’re right, the Chinese stuff they sell here really is bland.I love Veggie Lo-mein though!

When we lived in Tampa, we often went to this restaurant called P.F.Chang’s. It is very classy,and if you want chinese food that is decent, try it. I recommend the Veggie Lettuce wraps and the eggplant dish.

Cheers,T

But have you noticed that some of the “Chinese” Chinese restaurants now offer buffet (at least in NJ) which also has a wonderful array of dishes. I also found them pretty balnd initially, but now love some of their stuff.
But I am not sure about the vegetarian items though

Love soups and your version looks great…hot n sour…delicious

Also hema, I have heard ajinomoto is not good for health..but not 100% sure so i generally avoid it.
