Recipe: Seaweed Soup With Tofu

Unlike my other 老火汤 recipes which require long hours of simmering, this is a relatively no-frills soup which can be done in a jiffy.

So, if you are pressed for time yet craving for soup, this is the recipe for you.

This is quite a light soup as the main ingredients are just Tofu and Seaweed. You may like to add some seafood, meatballs or even Yong Tau Foo to make the taste more robust.

I happened to have some Prawns and Fish Maw lying around in the fridge so I added those into the soup as well.

Here are some benefits of Seaweed:

- Prevents fat absorbtion
- Reduces water retention
- Promotes mental youthfulness

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Bon appetit!
