Savory Soy Milk with Youtiao (Chinese Fried Dough)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Unsweetened Soy Milk
• 1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Black Vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
• 1 tbsp Dried Shrimp (omit, replaced with shiitake)
• 1 tbsp Rehydrated Shiitake Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Pickled Mustard Greens, finely chopped
• 2 sticks Chinese Fried Dough Sticks (Youtiao), store-bought
• 1 tbsp Chopped Scallions

Instructions

1. 1Place 2 cups of unsweetened soy milk into a medium saucepan. Heat the soy milk over medium heat until it is warm to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
2. 2While the soy milk is warming, prepare your toppings. Finely chop the 2 tablespoons of pickled mustard greens and the 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions. Ensure the 1 tablespoon of rehydrated shiitake mushrooms are also finely chopped.
3. 3In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of black vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir these ingredients together to create the flavor base.
4. 4Once the soy milk is warm, carefully pour it into two serving bowls. Divide the prepared flavor base mixture evenly between the two bowls, stirring gently into the soy milk.
5. 5Sprinkle the toppings over the soy milk in each bowl. Add the finely chopped 2 tablespoons of pickled mustard greens, the 1 tablespoon of finely chopped rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, and the 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions.
6. 6Serve the soy milk immediately. Provide the 2 sticks of Chinese fried dough sticks (youtiao) alongside the bowls, broken into smaller pieces for dipping into the savory soy milk.
