Usually there is a large common bowl of soup at the table of China, which is eaten with a spoon porcelain wide mouth. This water is never served tea and soup is rarely as a beverage at meals.

I have dozens of different versions of hot and sour soup in the following years I was the first time, Chinese food was introduced. And while I liked the mostturned in one way or another, my friend Tom I The recipe of his mother. This is the province of Sichuan could be a bit 'strong for some tastes. I, of course, is love.

All these bring to a boil, then simmer for about three minutes.

Then add a cake of tofu cut into cubes, a quarter teaspoon of white pepper (more than you like it hot) and two teaspoons of lemon juice.
