CHINESE SHRIMP AND TOFU SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok over high heat. Cook the garlic and ginger until fragrant and lightly browned. Stir in the shrimp, and stir fry until cooked, then remove and set aside. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, add the tofu and peas, season with salt and pepper, then return to a simmer. Mix the cornstarch with a little water to form a thin paste. Stir the cornstarch into the soup and continue to simmer until clear and thickened, about 1 minute. Stir the shrimp back into the soup and serve.

CHINESE VEGETABLE SOUP WITH SHRIMP AND PORK MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Prepare the meatballs: Chop the scallions, shrimp, and water chestnuts. Mince the garlic.
• In a medium bowl, mix the corn starch and soy sauce. Add egg whites, sesame oil, scallions, cilantro, ginger and garlic and blend well.
• Add shrimp, pork and water chestnuts and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Prepare the broth: Chop the scallions and bok choy. Thinly slice the carrot and snow peas. Mince the garlic.
• Combine stock, scallions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and carrot in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
• Form meat mixture into 1" balls and drop into simmering soup (using wet hands makes this easier). Simmer for 10 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and no longer pink.
• Add the bok choy and snow peas and simmer for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
