SPICY GAI LAN AND BEAN CURD SOUP
Gai Lan, which is known as Chinese broccoli, can be found at many Asian grocers. But if you can't find it, don't despair, fresh tender broccoli can be substituted in a pinch (it tastes quite similar anyway). This makes a wonderful light soup which can be totally vegetarian if you wish. It does turn out a bit spicy with the full three peppers sliced in (with the seeds)(I used fresh red Thai dragons in the recipe), so adjust the heat to your own taste. I think this also might be nice with chicken substituted for the tofu- if you choose to do that, add about 10-12 ounces of chopped cooked chicken where you would add the tofu. Enjoy!

SPICY GAI LAN SOUP
Soup I made one day when I had leftover produce from the Asian market. I recommend the gai lan and the wakame to get the right flavor, but I'm sure you could use similar greens and seaweed in a pinch.

Tips:
- To make the soup more flavorful, use homemade chicken broth instead of water. You can also add a splash of fish sauce or soy sauce for extra umami.
- If you don't have gai lan, you can use another type of leafy green, such as bok choy or kale. Just make sure to wash and chop it well before adding it to the soup.
- To make the soup spicier, add more chili peppers or red pepper flakes. You can also add a teaspoon of Sriracha sauce for an extra kick.
- If you want a thicker soup, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the soup and stir until thickened.
- Serve the soup with rice, noodles, or your favorite bread.
