Tom Yam Mi Fen (Soup)


I cooked this for lunch last Saturday as I felt lazy to go out for lunch and it’s easier than having to think what to eat.
You must be wondering why are there tofu in tom yam soup??? Well, I didn’t put any meat (except those little dried shrimps) in it, so tofu will make it more filling. Anyway, I love tofu, so I like to add it in soups. :)


Ingredients:
Mi Fen (soaked in water till soft)
Dried shrimps (soaked and chopped)
Tomatoes (cut into wedges)
Cabbage
Tofu
Onions (cut into small pieces)
Garlic (crush lightly)
Tom Yam paste
Salt
Honey
Water
Oil


Method:
1. Heat oil in a wok and saute the garlic for 1-2min.
2. Add in onions and dried shrimps and stir fry till fragrant.
3. Put in cabbage and tomatoes. Add a little salt and stir fry for 3-4min.
4. Put in tom yam paste and honey. Add water and let it simmer till tomatoes and cabbages are soft.
5. Add in the mi fen and tofu and cook till it’s soft. Done.

Note: You always add different vegetables e.g. young corns, carrot, mushrooms, etc but I just put in whatever I can find in the fridge ;p.
