Hot & Sour Soup is a very popular spicy and tangy Indo-Chinese dish, and is made with chicken stock, soya sauce, vinegar, sambal olek, mushrooms, carrots, scallions and egg. And, with my twist of adding chicken wontons; it is sinfully delicious.
TIP: When using soya sauce, you can avoid salt completely.
