We don't have much in the way of restaurants in our small town to the north, but we do have one little Asian restaurant place. Overall, their food is 'pretty good' (but not all of it). However, they do have a couple things which are the Owner's specialty items. Hot & Sour Soup is one of these (one of about two).
Now, I love Hot & Sour soup anyway, but this soup is just over the top!! Probably the best Hot & Sour Soup I've ever had, hand's down! It is excellent! I'm a big hot foot lover, and most their hot (spice wise) dishes are just "Meh!" in my opinion, but their Hot & Sour Soup is a real killer!! The other dish I like of theirs isn't hot at all, and that's their Chicken Chow Mein (primarily because it's really saucy, and I can't stand dry food!). It's the sauciest dish they have, so I usually order that.
Lately, I don't eat much at all. Maybe a few bites of something once a day, but often times I will order some of this Chinese food for me and the wife (she loves the stuff). I'll usually order the Chicken Chow Mein and the Hot & Sour Soup (like tonight). I wind up eating about a half a bowl of that, and I'm done. Over the past 3 months I've dropped over 30 lbs., and I'm going for an additional 40 lbs. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, so my doc put me on this Ozempic stuff. Man, lemme tell ya', this stuff cuts your appetite like nobody's business. I was 290, and now I'm down to below 260, and I'd like to get to 220. I feel like I can get there, no problem.
Anyway, the Hot & Sour Soup does nothing but help me on this weight journey. It has tofu, mushrooms, fungus (of some sort), green onions, this really thin sliced pork which is almost imperceptible, bamboo shoots and all this other stuff, in this fabulous broth which is simmered for hours. It is DE-LISH-OUS!! I'm tellin' ya, if you've never tried this stuff, it's AWESOME!
I just had to share this. This is about the 3rd time I've ordered this full meal (which will get eaten, but not tonight), only to sit down and just feast on this soup. The stuff is just wicked good! If you've never tried it, I highly recommend it. If you've tried it and it wasn't very good, I recommend trying it somewhere else (you got some bad stuff).
Just wanted to share.
Thanks! And...Enjoy!
