About This Recipe

This Huaiyang-Style Dried Tofu Shreds Soup is a delicate and flavorful dish that combines tender shredded chicken, savory ham, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic dried shrimp in a rich chicken broth. The key to its depth of flavor lies in the fine shredding of ingredients—especially the dried tofu, which is blanched to remove any beany taste while keeping its satisfying texture. Simmered gently in a fragrant broth enriched with chicken oil, every spoonful delivers a harmonious blend of umami and subtle sweetness. The dish is elevated by the use of premium Huaiyang dried tofu, though regular dried tofu works beautifully as a substitute. Perfect as a light yet nourishing meal, this soup is garnished with extra ham and chicken shreds for an elegant finish. A comforting, restaurant-quality recipe that’s surprisingly simple to make at home!
