Yen Can Cook ~ Napa Cabbage Tofu Soup (Vegetarian)
It’s Friday! All I want to do is getting the dinner ready as quick as possible and enjoy my Friday night~
Let’s try out this low-effort and comforting Napa Cabbage soup which is great served as a side dish with rice or as soup base for noodles. Or you can do what I did, just enjoy a huge bowl as a healthy main course.
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
6-8 Napa Cabbage leaves, sliced to bite-size (stem & leave part separated)
2 eggs
1 box soft tofu, cut into small size cubes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 thumb-sized ginger, sliced
Frozen prawn paste nuggets (optional)
Cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1200ml water
Chopped spring onion for garnishing (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Heat up cooking oil in a wok/pot then turn to medium heat. Pan fried both eggs together until fully cooked. Cut into bite size with spatula, dish out and set aside.
Step 2: In the same wok, heat up cooking oil and saute garlic and ginger till fragrant. Add in the fried egg (Step 1), water and sliced Napa Cabbage (stem part). Bring to a boil, let the broth cook with low heat for 4-5 minutes until the the cabbage starts to soften.
Step 3: Add in frozen prawn paste and cabbage leaves, bring to boil again and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4: Add in soft tofu, cook for 10 more seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Garnish with chopped spring onion and serve.
HAPPY COOKING! #stayhealthy #staysafe




Think those prawn nuggets add quite a bit of taste to the soup too, but that’ll not make it vegetarian kan…
KY, just omit the prawn paste nuggets to make it a vegetarian soup. 🙂
