Instructions
Stir frying veggies
- First rinse and chop all the veggies, mushrooms and keep aside.

- On low heat, sauté for 8 to 10 seconds and then add chopped onions or spring onions. Sauté again for a minute.
- Now add finely chopped french beans and chopped mushrooms.
- Stir fry on a medium to high heat till the mushrooms get lightly browned from the edges.
- Then add grated carrots, shredded cabbage, finely chopped capsicum/bell pepper and celery.
- Stir fry on a medium to high heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Once the veggies are stir fried for 3 to 4 minutes, then add soy sauce and black pepper. Stir to mix.
Making manchow soup
- Now add water or veg stock.
- Season with salt. Let the soup to come to a simmer on a medium heat. Keep a check on the amount of salt as soy sauce already has salt.
- Meanwhile. Make a smooth slurry or paste of the cornstarch with water.
- Reduce the heat to a low and add the cornstarch slurry or paste to the soup.
- Mix very well and let the soup thicken by simmering on medium-low to medium heat.
- Lastly add rice vinegar or regular vinegar. Turn off the heat.
- Stir and check the taste of soup. Add more seasonings like salt, black pepper or soy sauce or vinegar if needed.
- This is an optional step. In the meantime, if you have cooked noodles, first coat them with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch evenly.
- Then add them to medium hot oil for frying.
- Fry the noodles till they are crisp. Drain the fried noodles on kitchen paper towels.
- Stir and serve Manchow Soup hot topped with the fried noodles.
- You can also mix chopped coriander leaves towards the end or serve Veg Manchow Soup garnished with cilantro. Instead of coriander leaves, garnish with spring onion greens.
Notes
- For a very spicy taste in the soup, add more green chillies or red chillies. Alternatively add a spicy red chilli sauce. You can also increase the black pepper by a bit.
- Opt to add the vegetables that you prefer. For some protein, add tofu or mung bean sprouts.
- If you are not a fan of fried noodles, simply do not add them to the manchow soup.
- Skip adding vinegar if you do not like its taste.
- The recipe can be scaled to make for more servings.
