Chinese Food Menu
Yesterday we told you about the starters on many menus in Chinese restaurants, in order to help the unitiated among you. Today we are moving to the next section of a menu before people attempt to decide on their main course: Soup!
Hot and Sour Soup
There are many regional variations of this soup are found throughout China. All of theses contain bean curd, Chinese black mushrooms and usually pork, but the remaining ingredients can vary.
Wonton Soup
The word Wonton translates as "swallowing a cloud" and in this soup the floating Wontons do resemble tiny clouds. They are filled with a mixture of meat (usually pork) and seasoning and are boiled, and then added to the stock.
Egg Drop Soup
A Chinese classic: flavoured chicken broth or stock topped with threads of egg. It usually comes with a green onion garnish, and sometimes green peas are added to the stock.
