Method

  1. Simmer soup with tofu, napa cabbage, and mushrooms.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The tofu, cabbage, and mushrooms soften in the simmering soup. Keep the simmer gentle so the tofu holds its shape.

  2. Pour liquid into the pot.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The liquid flows into the pot around the ingredients. Pour slowly to avoid splashing.

  3. Sear a piece of chicken in a copper pan over a gas flame.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken surface browns in the pan. Sear until colored before continuing with the soup.
