"This is a variation of another dish my grandmother made when she stayed with us. Don’t let the number of ingredients freak you out. They’re mostly seasoning and spices and not a lot of chopping, mincing, or dicing. Bok choy and sh*take mushrooms are two of my favorite vegetables and I added these two items to the recipe. I also switched out the anchovies broth for water and added dashida, which is a soup stock that comes in anchovy, clam or beef flavors. I use beef dashida."

  1. When I saw this picture just knew I had to try this recipe. Followed the recipe exactly except no mushrooms as I forgot to buy them, wish I had as I know it'd be even better. We did use flat rice noodles instead of egg and really liked that. We even used the sriracha sauce and it was wonderful, but you are right it's VERY hot. DH has been asking for something like this for a long time and now I've done it. This was perfect for a cold, chilly day and reheated perfect for the next day too.

  3. Changes I've developed: switch out pork for firm tofu--pork is a "red" meat and basically unhealthy except in very limited quantities--could use chicken or turkey. added 1.5 tbsp. sririacha sauce. This was to suit my palate. Otherwise, very good soup as is too!!!

  4. I've made this several times now, and LOVE it!! I omit the tofu and use shrimp instead of pork, otherwise, I pretty much follow the recipe exactly. This is perfect for chilly days and/or when you've got a cold. Thanks for the great recipe!!
