Hi guys, I'm Amanda.
I will make Chinese spicy soup (胡辣汤) today.
There are two different types of Chinese spicy soup. It’s either Shanxi or Hunan style.
I tried Chinese spicy soup for the very first time.
Because one of my friends from Hunan recommended this soup.
If you search the recipe of this soup,
You realize you can’t really find lots of recipes online.
What do you think is the reason for it?
I will tell you why as I'm a professional.
It’s very tough to record a video of making Chinese spicy soup.
I don’t believe it.
It’s basically a dark color soup just like this.
It doesn’t look nice on camera.
So I think it’s a good idea to make home style of
Chinese spicy soup at home.
How long do you think it took to make this soup?
I’m just playing :P
Broth is most important because
Chinese spicy soup is based on good broth.
The best way to make delicious broth is by boiling bone with a little bit of meat on it.
First I will roast it until it gets golden in the oven and make a broth.
This extract will give you amazing flavor so don’t throw it away!
Pour hot water and put it into a pot together.
Boil water with green onion,
Ginger, white pepper and yellow wine.
Make sure to boil it over low heat for 2~3 hours.
Look at this color. It's very deep and milky.
Strain the stock before using.
This meat we used for broth is so tasty.
Chinese spicy soup has a lot of beef inside.
You can just buy braised beef at the supermarket.
You know what guys.
After I made a video of ‘what people ate in the past,’
I also learned how to cook traditional Qing braised beef.
Now I don’t prefer to buy or eat braised beef from the supermarket.
Self-certified recipe!
It’s very delicious.
Put some salt in the shin foreshank and Chinese wild bean paste(黃豆醬). Make sure to mix it well.
We also need to add a little bit of sesame oil and Chinese wine(花雕酒).
Put it in the fridge overnight.
Next day, l’m making green onion oil with
different types of spices.
Put beef and sauce into a pot.
Add a little water.
Boil it over high heat and then keep boiling it over low heat for 1 hour.
Turn off the gas.
We need to wait until it cools down completely.
Look at this braised beef.
It’s seasoned very well and I can smell it.
Wow… Spiciness doesn’t kill the real taste of beef.
It’s very nice beef smell.
You can just cut braised beef into small cubes or
Pieces before we put it into Chinese spicy soup(胡辣汤).
The last important thing is flour.
I made Kaomianjin(roast gluten) before and
You can check this video if you wish.
We definitely need it for Chinese spicy soup.
Let’s make a smooth dough.
I will leave it for a while.
To make the dough malleable,
We wash the dough with water.
Change the water when it gets murky.
Repeat this 5 times.
Make sure to repeat this over and over again until the dough resembles fine and
The water gets clear enough.
I still have the water I washed the dough.
Don’t drain the water. Keep it aside
We will use it later.
Put the dough into the water for a little bit.
You can see the dough is malleable very well.
We need a little touch here.
Let’s make very smooth and soft dough.
Isn’t it quite cute?
We just left the water and washed the dough for a little while.
As you can see, the starch sinks down and
The water on the top is clear.
Drain the water on the top.
Look at the bottom.
This is the starch from flour.
It’s called ‘Wheat Starch’ that we can buy in the market.
Now we finished preparing all ingredients we need
So commonly we need these ingredients to make Chinese spicy soup.
Peanut, tofu skin, seaweed, Daylily(黃花菜),
Sweet potatoes, glass noodles and fungus.
If you want to add other ingredients you like, you can
Let’s make Chinese pepper oil in a pot.
Filter Chinese pepper and leave oil.
Put broth and peanuts.
Once the water boils, make the dough into little pieces like dumplings and
Put it all into a pot.
When dumplings are ready, put in fungus.
Tofu skin, seaweed, Daylily, glass noodle,
Beef, soy sauce, chili, oyster sauce,
Sugar, Chinese five spice powder, and the most important ingredient is white pepper.
If you have pepper grinder at home,
You can use it.
Wow… it smells better than regular pepper powder.
The amount of white pepper is absolutely up to you.
It depends on you.
Trust me. You can put a lot into it!
It’s a spicy Chinese soup.
This soup is supposed to be spicy and it comes from the pepper.
Make sure to put in enough pepper.
Lastly, it’s time to add the starch water.
The starch water we made,
Please stir it well and add one scoop at a time.
Stir it well while adding the starch water to adjust the density.
Now you can see it’s like Chinese spicy soup.
I told you some people have this soup for breakfast.
The restaurants for Chinese spicy soup boil it in a big pot.
They sell it while heating it up.
We have one important thing.
You have to be mindful at home.
Keep stirring it constantly.
It has a lot of starch.
If you don’t stir, it sticks on the bottom.
Add a little bit of vinegar before you turn off the gas.
It’s more like adding scent, not sour flavor.
Put it all in a bowl.
You can add vinegar, sesame, green onion and
Chili oil. It depends on your taste.
Finally! This is Chinese spicy soup. It took me 2 days to make it
I didn’t use MSG at all.
I’m sure you will be surprised once you try :>
I can taste a real deep flavor and it’s delicious.
The spicy pepper makes my body warm.
I feel like my nose tip is beaded with sweat.
It gives me a very clear mind after having one bowl of soup.
I heard that there is a famous way to have this soup in Hunan.
It’s called Lyangchan.
It’s a combination of tofu and Chinese spicy soup.
There is one tip
Boil soft tofu in the hot water.
Put soft tofu into a bowl and
Pour Chinese spicy soup on the top.
People have Chinese spicy soup for breakfast with all different toppings.
Especially yóutiáo is a very classic topping.
You can just have it with anything you like.
Anything.
Lastly!
If you have any friend from Hunan,
Try to have rice with Chinese spicy soup for lunch and dinner
In front of your friend.
It will make your friend crazy :P
So this is all for today.
