Tofu Chicken Soup

Khmer Tofu Chicken Soup presents a delightful combination of health and flavor in an uncomplicated recipe. Tofu, or soybean curd, originates from China and is a key component of this soup. Renowned for its nutritional benefits, tofu is rich in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin B, with the added advantages of being cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat and sodium. In Kampuchea, two varieties of tofu prevail: firm tofu, suitable for stir-frying and soups, and soft tofu, often used in desserts.

The soup’s preparation involves combining 3 cups of water with bite-sized chicken chunks and firm tofu. As the water reaches a bubbling point, the chicken is cooked until tender, and tofu and Napa cabbage are added, creating a medley of textures. The flavors are enhanced with fish sauce, salt, sugar, and a dash of black pepper. The final touch involves garnishing the soup with chopped green onions, adding freshness and visual appeal.

To savor this wholesome creation, the Tofu Chicken Soup is served hot alongside rice. The dish not only exemplifies a fusion of culinary influences but also underscores the simplicity of creating a nutritious and flavorful meal. It invites individuals to join in the enjoyment of this nourishing soup, making it a shared experience that culminates in a satisfying culinary adventure.
