soup has lots of water which is zero calorie
and sweetness is not the main taste

>> No.18680176

>>18677064
depends on how much the restaurant is swindling you and diluting the soup

>> No.18680182

its only really the starch in the soup, the rest is like eggs/black fungus/tofu/mushrooms, all are very low calorie

How does every Chinese restaurant manage to make hot and sour soup that tastes exactly the same?

The distinctive taste might be from the use of gutter oil.
Just kidding, the soup is all manufactured at the same place and flash frozen for distribution.

Same spice/flavor packet they dump into the mix.
A lot of chinese restaurants are loosely affiliated and source from a dozen or so distributors

>> No.18680497

>>18680272
The flavor of hot and sour soup comes from 3 main ingredients: chinese cooking wine, chinese vinegar, and white pepper. If everyone is using the same brands of wine and vinegar, its gonna taste the same.

>Same spice/flavor packet they dump into the mix.

grab the kikoman hot and sour soup mix, prepare it as instructed by the package, and then dump some chinese vinegar in there and it will taste exactly like cheap take out hot and sour. add in your own cornstarch slurry to make it thick. Go ahead and do all the other ingredients you like if you're really jonesing for it but dont want to pay 10$ for a cup of soup.

Bulk black ear fungus is cheap as fuck, at least, they use to be. Thats the distinctive black shit in there. Everything else is pretty obvious. Onions, tofu, whatever meat you have.
