Recommend me some “Asian” Soup variations

[Anonymous No.17196343]

What I typically make to imitate/elevate instant noodle soup is sweat garlic and ginger (if I have it scallions) in oil, put in gochujang or chili flakes give it some heat then pour over water or stock, flavour with soy and oyster sauce, boil the noodles in this liquid and a minute before it’s finished add some greens, maybe an egg. Any ideas for Spicy soup recipe variations? What to add/leave out and substitute to keep it interesting and change up the flavour profile?

My favorite Asian soup is Wonton Soup. I’ve never tried to make it. It’s so easy just get a quart to go. All Chinese restaurants have it on the menu

Looks nice, but that's not wonton soup.

For the one you posted I tend to use the broth in pic related top center. Cube brisket (don't buy wagyu like I did, it's a waste), blanche until water is clear, put in slow cooker/crock. Add chopped Daepa (big korean green onion) and cook. Towards end of cook in 4 hours, lightly sautee shiitakes and add in with enoki, serve over noodles. Your image had gosari but I usually omit that and add fresh (refrigerated) noodles even though it's not traditional. Maybe use korean soup soy sauce instead your normal one, or add doubanjiang or chili oil.

I should mention that it's very concentrated in the bag so I use a lot more water or stock than recommended, I like hot and spicy food but it's too much for me. You can make it with leftover shredded chicken too. Koreans sometimes serve it with purple rice on the side

>>17197293
Let me guess, they're only wontons when they're fried?

[Anonymous No.17198257]

Gaeng pa is one I'd recommend. I typically make it with chicken, then for the veggies I use thai eggplant, chinese eggplant, and green beans. I don't eat it with rice, though it's commonly served with rice.

I suppose he means that this is “real”wonton soup as opposed to the Americanized version pictured in that post

[Anonymous No.17198856]

>>17197257
Yeah making it from scratch is a lot of work for one person
>>17197326
Thanks, I have thought about the possibility of making it with doubanjiang which I love. Today I think I will try out a sour variety. I’ll use Sambal and add lime juice at the end (maybe cook some leaves with the soup too?) or I’ll add tamarind.
>>17198257
Thanks, I don’t think I have ever seen grachai though

Looks like wonton soup to me. The ones I get in back alleys owned by an old poor Chinese couple looks like that.

Grachai is optional...
You can find it in asian supermarkets in a jar labelled "pickled galingale/galangal". The intense heat and licorice-y basil are what I enjoy about gaeng pa, anyway. The grachai just adds this earthy note, mostly...I think it's mostly used for gaeng som

a fork could pick them out too, but you don't see western soups often having such large cuts

Don't eat Asian soups, that's how the world got into the mess we were in right now. Well that's the story anyway. Everyone knows now that it's was a joint effort of China and the US releasing highly unstable mutated virus at key points in the world. And the vaccine is a joint effort of those two plus Russia to infest viable populations with serotonin controlling nanites. Just imagine how much better off the world would be now if they just told us the truth and we took it freely. Once the government's dissolved and the algorithm started making global choices for us it allowed us all to live free and happy. Anyways bros happy new years, if 2032 was this great just imagine what 2033 will bring us.

Boil some beef chunks with daikon, take it out once done, marinate it in chopped garlic+gochujang+soy sauce, then put it back in to make a soup

>licorice-y basil
Also haven’t seen holy basil or the other variety. Only med basil around here. Might work too in a pinch who knows.
>>17200544
You could make a trip to a big city with an Asian market and buy in bulk. Things like whole dried chilis or star anise don’t go bad for years. Same goes for all kinds of pastes if you keep them frozen or refrigerated. Ginger garlic scallions radish and broccoli should be easy to come by. Also in Italy you can get good cheap flour to make your own noodles.

google a recipe. "The woks of life" has a more in depth exploration about varieties.

[Anonymous No.17202265]

and even if you don't do a hot pot, try szechuan peppercorns

they give a nice roasted flavor and an interesting long lasting heat

Chink here. Shut the fuck up you fucking virtue signaling faggot. No other chink I've ever met gives a shit. We bitch at each other for cooking shit wrong but if some gweilou wants to praise chinese food we're all proud of it because we have a working cultural identity. I don't care if you're eating noodles or scallion pancakes or mapo tofu or fucking orange chicken, if you like it then I feel good because I know my culture's food is good. I'm not even from mainland china, are you going to tell me I don't get to eat paigu rice because I'm from the wrong square of dirt?
Fucking retard. Chinese being a big fucking place with a million local cuisines doesn't mean it isn't all chinese food. I hate you faggots so much.
