⏱ 100 mins 🍽 2 7/8 Quarts, 6 serving(s) 🏷 Clear Soup

This clear soup was created to use up leftover Asian market produce. It features gai lan (Chinese broccoli) and wakame seaweed for authentic flavour, along with enokitake mushrooms, green onion and cilantro. The broth is built on a base of sautéed aromatics and vegetable stock, then spiked with chilli paste and sriracha for heat. It simmers for a full hour to develop a deep, satisfying taste.
