Once I realised what harm it is causing to me & my family I learned how to make it at home a much healthy version. I am sure readers will enjoy making it.
Hot And Sour Soup
Ingredients
Carrot 1 tbsp Red chilly minced 1tsp
Paneer 1 tbsp Salt/Pepper/Sugar to taste (seasoning)
Beansprout 1 tbsp Vinegar or lemon 1 1/2 tbsp ( I use lemon better for health)

Celery stalk 1 tsp ( for aroma) Soya sauce
Veg stock 6 cups Cornflour make into paste with water
butter
Shred all vegetables into julliens. Boil the veg stock, add the vegetables, red chilly minced , seasonings, vinegar/lemon, soya sauce and some spring onions green. Then addcornflour paste slowly stirring continuously ( else cournflour will be converted into lumps) . Let simmer for 1-2 minutes, serve hot garnished with spring onion greens and fried noodles.
Tips:
Juliens: Cut vegetables in thin srips lenghtwise
Veg Stock preparation: take vegetable remains boil them then put celery stem Pressure cook all vegetable for one wistle then cook for 15-20 minutes on slow gas. Once cool smash the vegetables then sieve to get veg stock
Fried noodles: Take thick round noodles. Put them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Sieve the water, apply a spoonfull of oil to these noodles Let it cool for sometime then before frying apply little cornflour. Fry in any oil.
Red chilli minced: Generally if you have green chilli which is turned into red use that or use green chilli
