Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 cups chicken stock

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

  • 1 cup imitation crabmeat, diced

  • 1 cup diced tofu

  • ½ cup white vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon tahini

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

  1. Bring chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Add soy sauce, pepper, and chili garlic sauce. Add imitation crab and tofu; boil for 5 minutes. Add vinegar and tahini; boil for 5 minutes.

  2. Whisk egg in a small cup; slowly pour into the soup and stir a few times. Let boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

  3. Add coconut and remove from the heat.

Cook's Notes:

This can be pretty spicy for some people. Less chili garlic sauce and white pepper can be used if desired.

If you have leftover pickle juice, use it instead of the white vinegar--it adds a great garlic and dill flavor.
