Main Ingredients for Preparing Asian Tomato Soup:

 

• 4 large tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (or corn oil if unavailable)
• 4 cups of lukewarm water
• 2 tablespoons of white cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon of fine salt
• ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 red chili peppers, finely chopped
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup of dried cilantro (or finely chopped fresh parsley if unavailable)
• 1 stalk of green onion, finely chopped

How to Prepare Asian Tomato Soup:

1. Cook the tomatoes: In a large pot, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped tomatoes and stir for 2 minutes until they start to soften.

2. Add water and seasonings: Pour in 3½ cups of lukewarm water. Add the salt, ground black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and finely chopped red chili peppers. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and let the mixture come to a boil over medium heat.

3. Prepare the cornstarch mixture: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of water with the cornstarch, stirring until fully dissolved. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent the cornstarch from clumping at the bottom of the pot.

4. Add the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly using a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs and whisk again. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the soup while stirring gently. You’ll notice the eggs form small white pieces as they cook.

5. Final touches: Let the soup simmer for 3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked. Sprinkle the chopped parsley (or cilantro) over the soup and turn off the heat.

6. Serve and garnish: Pour the soup into serving bowls and garnish with finely chopped green onions. Serve the soup hot.
