Bean Curd Soup

 
   
   
   
Ingredient -  
   
2 cakes Bean Curd
4 ounces Frozen Small Green Peas
Salt
1-1/2 pints Clear Stock
Thin Soy Sauce, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons Peanut or Corn Oil
 
   
Preparation:  
   
Cut each cake of bean curd into 32 cubes: cut lengthwise into 4 pieces, then crosswise into another 4 pieces and then halve each piece. Steep in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, handling with care, so as not to break them.

Place the peas in a saucepan of boiling salted water and simmer for about 3 minutes. Drain.

Put the stock, bean curd and peas in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Season with salt and a little soy sauce. Add the oil. Transfer to a large warm soup tureen or individual soup bowls and serve.
