Authentic Chinese Cilantro Tofu Soup
I prepare this soup regularly.
Why not have a bowl?
1) Be sure to remove the pan from heat before adding the potato starch dissolved in water. Mix before returning to high heat, but remove from heat again right before it comes to a boil. Soup thickened with potato starch should not be boiled.
2) When I'm on a diet, I have this soup every other meal. With only 130 calories per bowl (with 4 servings), it's actually very filling! Recipe by Beru
