This Chinese seaweed soup is one of my favourites growing up. It’s nutritious, delicious, convenient and comes together in 10 minutes. Now, whenever I’m stressed for time and in the mood for soup, I look through my pantry and reach for the dried seaweed! It’s always in stock! When buying Chinese seaweed, look for its distinctive packaging. There are many different brands. Choose ones that are shaped and packaged in round packaging.

Rehydrate the dried seaweed in a large bowl of water. Remove any sand or residue by rinsing it a few times. Drain and discard the water.
To a medium bowl, marinate the ground pork for 10 minutes by adding in the following: ½ tsp of sea salt, ½ tsp of white pepper, and ¼ tsp of baking soda (if using).
To a medium or large pot, add the chicken broth and water. Bring it to a boil and add in the mushroom seasoning, 1 ½ tsp of sea salt, marinated ground pork or cubed tofu. Lower the heat to simmer.
Add in the seaweed and slowly drizzle in the beaten egg whites, swirling the soup in one direction with a ladle until strands of egg whites are formed.
Add in sesame oil, if using, and adjust the flavours if needed. Bring the soup back to a boil before turning off the heat. Serve hot.
