Ingredients:
8 medium Dry shiitake mushrooms (about 3/4 oz. total)
1 tbsp Salad oil
1 Clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 tbsp Minced fresh ginger
1 1/2 qt Regular-strength chicken broth
1 lb Soft or regular tofu, rinsed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and
Drained well
3 tbsp Rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp Soy sauce
3 tbsp Cornstarch
3/4 To 1 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 To 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
4 Green onions (ends trimmed), thinly sliced
Crisp noodles (recipe follows)
Crisp-creamy peas (recipe follows)
Instructions:
Soak mushrooms in hot water to cover until soft, about
20 minutes.

Drain; cut off tough stems and discard. Cut caps into thin strips;
set aside.

Pour oil into a 4- to 5-quart pan. Place over medium heat and add
garlic and ginger; stir until garlic is light gold. Add broth and
mushrooms; bring to a boil on high heat. Add tofu; cover and simmer
until tofu is hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, and
cornstarch until smooth; stir into soup. Cook, stirring, until soup
boils. Add white pepper and chili oil to taste. Stir in onions. Pour
into a tureen. offer noodles and peas to add to taste.

Makes 6 servings.

CRISP NOODLES:

Pour about 1 inch salad oil into a 2 1/2- to 3-quart pan. Heat oil to
350F. Add a handful of fresh Chinese noodles or fresh taglierini
(you'll need 3 oz. total) to oil; fry, turning, until crisp and
golden, about 1 minute. Lift out; drain on paper towels. Repeat to
fry remaining noodles. Serve, or let cool and store airtight for up
to 5 days. Makes 3 cups. Or omit this step and use 1 can (5 oz.) chow
mein noodles.

CRISP-CREAMY PEAS:

Rinse and drain 1 can (16 oz.) black-eyed peas. Spread out on a double
layer of paper towels and pat dry. Place beans in a 10- by 15- inch
baking pan. Add 1 tablespoon salad oil and mix to coat beans. Bake in
a 400F oven until beans are lightly browned and crisp on outside,
about 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Serve hot or warm. Makes 1 cup.
