Time 2h

Yield 4 - 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 dried Chinese black mushrooms
1 cup hot water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 tablespoons sliced fresh ginger
1 large clove garlic, sliced
1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1 cup chopped onion
4 cups shredded Chinese cabbage
1 pound lean beef chuck or flank, in 1/2-inch cubes
8 cups beef stock or water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place mushrooms in a bowl, cover with water and allow to stand for 30 minutes to soften. When the mushrooms are soft remove the stems and slice the caps. Reserve the soaking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or casserole, add the ginger and garlic and saute over medium heat for several minutes. Do not allow the garlic to brown. Sprinkle with five-spice powder and stir.
  • Add the onion and cabbage and continue to cook, stirring from time to time, until the vegetables have wilted. Add the beef, the mushrooms, the mushroom-soaking liquid and the stock or water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently, partly covered for one-and-a-half hours. Skim the surface a few times in the beginning. When the beef is tender, season the soup to taste with salt and pepper and serve. If desired, the soup can be served over cooked brown rice or egg noodles.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.

I'm not sure why, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I still enjoyed this soup. The ginger flavor is very subtle.
