If you enjoy cooking food for your family as much as I do this soup will be a crowd pleaser I must tell you. So the chopping bit can be done smilingly even if you are scared of the knives and the board .... for me it is an indulgence ...anyone who is a foodie loves cooking generally but it can be therapeutic and please take notice if you are reading this just as an academic interest..
See the colorful ingredients and save me from listing them here .....the bok choy, the bases slit lengthwise and the leaves chopped , beans and baby corns cut in a slanted manner , spring onions ...white parts slit and leaves chopped , mushrooms and carrots chopped in slices , tofu cubed and lots of garlic , ginger and green chillies very finely chopped .... Some soy sauce , tomato ketchup , pineapple juice and pine apple cubes will be used later in the process....
To proceed cooking , heat a couple of tablespoons of oil in a pan and shallow fry the tofu cubes till pinkish brown and drain them . Flash fry all the vegetables in the same pan , adding the leafy green parts later while frying . The vegetables are fried just for a minute so they do not loose their color and crunch . Keep all these into a separate plate ....
Add the stir fried vegetables and tofu and adjust seasonings . There should a nice balance of sweet and sour and a bit of heat comfortable for your palate................
