Method
For Manchow Soup, the characteristic garnish is fried noodles. To prepare this, add 1 tbsp cornflour to the cooked noodles. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown, and set aside.
Heat a Wok or a Kadai until it is very hot. Then add in oil, and add in the finely chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies. Saute until they start to change colour.
Add in the finely chopped cabbage, beans, coriander stems and the carrot. Add 1 tsp of salt. Cook for 2 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
Add soy sauce, chilli sauce and White Pepper powder. Mix well and add in the vegetable stock, vinegar and sugar. Taste and add salt, if needed. Let it simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Make a paste of 1 tbsp of cornflour with some water. Add it to the soup and continue cooking it till it thickens to the desired consistency. Add the chopped coriander leaves and turn off the heat.
Serve in a bowl and garnish with the fried noodles.
