  • 2 or 3 Stalks spring onions, finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup carrot, finely chopped
  • ¾ or 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 2 or 3 tablespoons French beans, finely chopped
  • 2 or 3 tablespoons capsicum chopped
  • 3 or 4 mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons coriander stems (or celery stalks), finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped

  • 3 tablespoons organic soya sauce (or tamari)
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper, crushed
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 or 3 teaspoons rice vinegar (or apple vinegar)
  • 1 pack noodles (150 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1:
    Heat ½-2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Keep the flame at medium until the oil is hot, then turn it high and add the garlic, ginger, chili, and coriander stems. Fry for 30 seconds and then add the spring onion whites and onions.
    Fry till the onions are golden.
  • Step 2:
    Add the cabbage, beans, bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots to the pan. Sauté, while stirring continuously, for 2 minutes or until the veggies give off an aroma. Then pour 4 cups of water (or broth) and bring it to a boil.
  • Step 3:
    While the soup boils in the pan, stir cornstarch with 3-4 tablespoons of water and make a smooth slurry.
    Reduce the flame a little. Slowly mix the slurry in the boiling, keep stirring continuously.
  • Step 4:
    Keep cooking until the soup is slightly thicker, then add the coriander leaves and the rest of the spring onions. Pour in soya sauce, half a  teaspoon of salt, and crushed pepper.
  • Step 5: Turn off the heat when the soup is thick enough and keep it covered until ready to serve. Just before serving add the vinegar to the soup.
    Note: Don’t overcook, the vegetables should remain crunchy.
  • The Noodles
    Step 6:
    Prepare the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Once they are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse under running water to remove the starch.
    Note: Make sure the noodles aren’t overcooked or they will turn out too mushy.
  • Step 7:
    Pour the manchow soup into bowls and top with the prepared noodles and green onions. You may also add some hot sauce and serve.

Notes
