Cooking tips

  • Use soft stewing tofu for better texture, but be careful when slicing—lay the knife flat and cut gently to avoid breaking it.
  • Do not add all the cornstarch slurry at once; adding it gradually prevents lumping and allows you to control the desired thickness.
  • The balance between sourness and spiciness is key—adjust vinegar and black pepper to your preference, but use generous amounts of pepper to preserve the authentic sharp, spicy character of Shanla Tang.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a uniquely flavored broth with a perfect blend of vinegar’s tanginess and pepper’s spiciness.
  • People looking for a comforting, warming meal to soothe their stomach after drinking.
  • Home cooks eager to try an authentic Chinese-style Shanla Tang inspired by Michelin-starred chefs.
