Directions
Low Sodium Hot & Sour Soup, Most hot & sour soups that I’ve had are neither hot nor sour. This one is both. As an added bonus, I replace the usual soy sauce with Chinkiang vinegar, which dramatically lowers the sodium content. Scale back on the peppers to make it less hot and reduce the rice vinegar if you want it less sour., Most hot & sour soups that I’ve had are neither hot nor sour. This one is both.

Cut Chicken Breast Into Uniform, Thin Strips. Pan Cook Until the Bottom Changes Color from Pink to Pale Tan Color, Then Flip the Pieces Over. When There Is No Sign of Pink Color, Remove from Pan and Set Aside. Important: Don't Cook as Much as You'd Cook a Chicken Breast You Might Eat by Itself: Heating the Soup Will Continue to Cook the Chicken, Resulting in Tough, Overcooked Chicken in Your Soup. |
