Chinese Soups and Stews Recipes

Trust me, one egg is enough to make a sumptuous Egg Drop Soup! The problem I find with egg drop soup recipes is that the timing for the egg drop is never right, so the egg never separates into true ribbons. My Chinese father taught me the trick to this soup, which I now pass to you!

Chinese is one of my favorite cuisines to cook as well as eat. By cooking the rice before it is added to the soup, you will enjoy the crunchy texture with the other flavors in this delicious soup.

Delicious!

A touch of East Asian in this soup, hope that you will like it as much as I do.

A quick and delicious ramen-style soup that uses easy-to-find ingredients. The broth is rich in flavor and freezes well. Simply boil fresh noodles to enjoy unsoggy leftovers.

This is a quick and easy recipe that tastes really good. To add a little more to this soup add one small (7 to 8 ounce) can creamed corn and omit the egg.

My version of a Japanese pork and egg noodle soup recipe from a magazine but mine is easier to make. You can simply pour the soup over rice if you prefer.

Forget the complicated Cantonese Hot and Sour Soup with a million ingredients! This is an authentic central Chinese version that will warm your heart and your palate without sending you on a hunt for ingredients.

Very easy, and fun for kids to help with. To bulk it up, add sliced carrots or mushrooms. Garnish with fresh scallions.

On Lunar Chinese New Year, we usually like to have meatballs or sweet dumplings. Ball in Chinese is 'wan,' sweet dumpling in Chinese is 'tang yuan.' Their shapes are both round. So we use a meatball dish and/or sweet dumpling dish to emphasize the Chinese expression 'He Jia Tuan Yuan.' 'He Jia' means the whole family. 'Tuan Yuan' means 'all be together' ('yuan' also means circle, round as well, which connects with the shape of the meatballs and the sweet dumplings). This tofu ball dish is easy to make, and it is a great soup for your Lunar New Year meal.

Tantanmen (dan dan noodles) is a Chinese noodle dish, and very popular in Japan. This contains some Chinese spices that are not very common but many Chinese supermarkets have them in the spices aisle.

This soup is very warming. I love to make this during the winter months when it's chilly outside.

You can't find this soup in Chinese restaurants in United States, but it's quite common in South China. It is really easy, and delicious for tomato lovers. Enjoy it.

Hand-pulled noodles are a tradition from Lanzhou in Northwest China. Called "lamian", the 6- to 9-feet-long noodles are made simply with water, flour, and patience! Served with a delicate beef broth, this is a truly special Chinese regional dish.

This traditional Chinese breakfast rice porridge is filling, cheap, warming, and oh so good. I like my rice well broken down and therefore use a short-grain rice and a longer cooking time. I hope you enjoy! Serve hot in small bowls, garnished with a drop of oyster sauce, chopped scallion greens, and small slices of yau ja gwai (fried chinese bread stick, or chinese crullers).

This is a simple, yet flavor-packed Chinese soup. Tofu is simmered with bamboo shoot, shiitake mushrooms, cloud ear mushrooms, ham, and eggs in a hot and sour soup base. Garnish soup with cilantro or spring onions.

My sister hates ginger, so we modify our Chinese cooking to satisfy her. I like to make this for weekend lunches.
