Bean*sprouts+tomatoes =

I thought I could use a mathematical equation to represent this because it's as straight-forward and simple to make, and prepared by a logical mind, as Bean Sprouts Tomatoes Soup!

Is this a soup, I don't know, but I've had it before. It's a wonderful soup to cook, drink and eat, for a change. Don't be deceived by the simplicity of the ingredients. Bean sprouts and tomatoes can make wholesome flavorful soup!!


Bean sprouts tomato soup (serves ~2-3)
Ingredients:
-3/4lb bean sprouts, washed with roots removed
-2 tomatoes, washed and cut into bite-size pieces
-1/2lb lean pork(optional; can be omitted if going vegetarian)
-salt to taste

Method:
1.Blanch the pork in boiling water to remove scum
2.Place blanched pork in slow-cooker and cook for 1hr
3.Turn to low heat, add bean sprouts and tomatoes, simmer in slow-cooker for 15-20mins
4.If you prefer more crunch to the bean sprouts and tomatoes, simmering for just 10 mins will do

  1. How does it taste? It didn't even cross my mind mixing bean sprouts and tomatoes together in a soup.
    The other day, I simply tried to bake some tomatoes in an oven and they tasted horrible, so I ended up throwing them away.

  3. Hi sue, it tasted refreshingly good. Distinct bean sprouts and tomatoes flavors that blend very well together. I've had this soup before so I dare to mix them, knowing the final taste will not fail me. Maybe the lean pork did help a little in flavoring up the soup too! How did you bake the tomatoes ? Hope it was not a lot that you have to throw away.

    Sim, you must add duck meat too! Szechuan veg with tomatoes remind me of Teochew duck soup. Can I have some ?
