Savory Minced Meat
Tofu Soup

A comforting, light, and tangy tomato-based soup featuring silky tofu, tender enoki mushrooms, and savory minced meat, perfect for warm weather.

Ingredients

• 200 g minced meat
• 1 block soft tofu
• 100 g enoki mushrooms
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 2 slices ginger
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 500 ml boiling water
• 1 stalk green onions, optional

Instructions

1. 1Sauté the tomatoes

   

   Heat oil in a wok until hot, then add the peeled tomatoes. Stir-fry them consistently until they soften and begin to release their juices, forming a flavorful base for the soup.

   Tip: Peeling the tomatoes beforehand ensures a smoother soup texture.
2. 2Add boiling water

   

   Once the tomatoes have softened and created a rich juice, pour in the boiling water to create the soup base.

   Tip: Using boiling water instead of cold water helps maintain the cooking temperature and flavor intensity.
3. 3Season the soup

   

   Add salt, ginger slices, and a dash of light soy sauce to the simmering tomato soup to build the foundational savory flavor.

   Tip: Adjust the salt level to your taste preference.
4. 4Add tofu and mushrooms

   

   Gently add the cubed tofu and prepared enoki mushrooms into the soup. Cover with the lid and bring it to a boil.

   Tip: Be gentle when adding tofu to prevent it from breaking apart.
5. 5Cook the minced meat

   

   Once the soup is boiling, remove the lid and add the prepared minced meat. Stir quickly to ensure it breaks apart and cooks evenly throughout the soup.

   Tip: Stirring immediately prevents the meat from clumping together.
6. 6Garnish and serve

   

   After boiling for a few minutes, sprinkle freshly chopped green onions over the top. The soup is now ready to serve.

   Tip: Add the green onions right before serving to keep them fresh and vibrant.
