  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
  3. Cook the broccoli in a small pot of boiling, salted water for 2 minutes then drain thoroughly.
  4. Heat a large wok or skillet on high heat (don't use a non-stick skillet, or at the very least don't use a teflon coated skillet due to the high heat used in this recipe) until a drop of water sizzles and instantly evaporates on the surface of the pan.
  5. Add the oil and swirl to coat. Immediately add the beef and spread out all over the surface of the wok or pan in a single layer, and allow to fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, then add the garlic to the pan to fry for an additional 30 seconds. Pour in the sauce, add the broccoli and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens (about 30 to 45 seconds). Serve hot over rice.
  6. Enjoy!

Egg Drop Soup

From the Blog 12 Tomatoes, I bring  you a popular chinese soup which is soooo good that anybody can eat a whole big bowl!

Chinese Recipe: Our Favorite Egg Drop Soup

This simple Chinese soup is a combination of beaten eggs and chicken broth at its most basic level. We began to wonder, though, how can one add extra flavor to the dish without getting in the way of that smooth, silky texture just the basic dish imparts?
The trick, it turned out, was to infuse the soup with additional flavor like one might with tea. We added a cinnamon stick, then put some peppercorns, and a few other spices in a tea ball (a tea bag works just as well) and let those flavors infuse in the soup at a low simmer before before adding the egg. Because of the simplicity of this soup, it's best served as a light appetizer, but if you'd like to make it a meal, feel free to add chopped tofu or mushrooms. Keep reading below for this great recipe...
Chinese Recipe: Our Favorite Egg Drop Soup

Our Favorite Egg Drop Soup

(makes 6 cups)
Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2" fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
  1. Whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and chilled or room temperature chicken stock.
  2. Pour the stock in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Place the ginger and peppercorns in a tea ball or bag, then add to the broth along with the cinnamon stick, soy sauce, and white pepper. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  3. Scoop out the cinnamon stick and remove the tea bag, and taste the broth. Add salt or say sauce as needed.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs with the remaining teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir the soup with a ladle. Rest a fork over the bowl, and press down on the back of the fork with your thumb while your fingers reach around to grip the bottom of the bowl. Tilt the bowl to pour the eggs slowly through the fork tines. Whisk the broth with your other hand as you pour.
  5. Let the soup stand for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs. Stir in the sesame oil. Serve immediately. To garnish, top with sliced scallions.
  6. Enjoy!

Broccoli cheddar soup is a yummy staple in our winter meal cycle, but throw it all into a bread bowl and our love for the dish skyrockets…we scarf it down and then immediately plan out when we’ll get to have it again in the (very) near future.
It’s possible you are not quite as big broccoli cheddar—or soup—enthusiasts as we are, but we guarantee you’ll flip for this rich and creamy meal. Now, everyone knows that soup is the perfect dish for when the weather takes a turn, but this recipe will give you a hankering for it even when the weather’s perfect; it’s just that good. Plus, it’s a perfectly easy soup to make and only dirties one pot. Clean up is seriously a breeze, because, chances are, you’ve eaten up your soup vessel, leaving only your spoons for the dishwasher! Dust off your soup pots, you know what you’re making for dinner tonight!

Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Serves 6
Ingredients
  • 5 cups broccoli florets, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 6 bread bowls, tops cut off
  • 4 slices bacon, plus extra for garnish
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
  • freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  2. Add onions to bacon renderings and cook until softened and transparent, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic to the onion and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir frequently so it doesn’t burn.
  4. Whisk in chicken broth, then milk and cream, and add broccoli. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender.
  5. Take your bread bowls and gently scoop out the bread from the inside, leaving about 1/4-inch all the way around. Set bowls aside.
  6. In batches, transfer soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree majority of soup until almost smooth, leaving some chunkier parts. Return to pot.
  7. Using a fork or whisk, mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl or glass until smooth. Then add this slurry back into the soup and stir well to incorporate.
  8. Bring soup back up to a boil and let cornstarch cook, then stir in cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Ladle soup into bread bowls and garnish with extra broccoli and bacon. Serve immediately and enjoy.
