Garnish and Serve
Add 1/2 cup of finely shredded boiled chicken along with the vegetables for a non-vegetarian version.
For a vegan protein boost, add 1/2 cup of small-cubed firm tofu when you add the vegetables. Omit the egg.
Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced shiitake or button mushrooms along with the other vegetables for an earthy flavor.
Increase the amount of green chilies and red chili sauce, or add a dash of chili oil at the end for extra heat.
The eggs in the soup provide a good source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle building, repair, and overall body function.
This soup contains a variety of finely chopped vegetables like carrots, cabbage, and beans, contributing essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber to your meal.
The warm, spicy broth can be incredibly soothing, especially during cold weather. The heat from the spices may also help in clearing nasal congestion.
A single serving of Egg Manchow Soup contains approximately 350-400 calories. The majority of the calories come from the deep-fried noodles and the oil used in the soup.
It can be considered moderately healthy. The soup itself is rich in vegetables and protein from the egg. However, the high sodium content from sauces and the fat from the fried noodles make it an indulgence. For a healthier version, skip or bake the noodles and use low-sodium soy sauce.
Absolutely! The soup is delicious on its own without the crispy noodle topping. The noodles are a traditional garnish but not essential to the base flavor.
To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles (like rice vermicelli) for frying. Replace the soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative. Also, ensure your vegetable stock and chili sauce are certified gluten-free.
Manchow soup is primarily defined by its strong ginger-garlic flavor, brown color from soy sauce, and its signature crispy noodle topping. Hot & Sour soup is tangier (more vinegar), spicier, and typically includes ingredients like mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo shoots, but does not have the crispy noodle garnish.
