"Ranch 99" or a similar market will have what you need for H & S.

anyone in the Bay Area know a good place where I can pick up such things? There's a shit-ton of Asians around here, so I figured......

So the next question is, what makes the sweet & sour sauce so damn red? It looks like transmission fluid!

I eat the crispy noodles (basically chinese dough - the same stuff they make fried wontons and the dumplings in wonton soup - as well as the outside of an egg roll) - by putting them IN the soup. It makes the crispy noodles a tiny bit softer, but it takes a while as the crispy noodles are very crispy.

If my hot and sour soup did not have tofu I would be very pissed.

I thought thats how everyone ate teh crispy noodles?

I never considered it. I always ate the soup, then had the noodles for dessert :^D Next time I get hot & sour soup I'll try putting the noodles in.

Every bowl of hot and sour soup I've ever eaten has had tofu in it. I absolutely love hot and sour soup. :heart:

Think I've tried it once or twice. Not bad. The tofu is the centrepiece for me. Damn you, salivating now.

Or you could just go to Costco and get 2 deliciously pre-made quarts for $7.99

You have a better Costco than us. I wish we had H&S soup at ours, I check everytime I go.

The power of suggestion, after reading this thread I couldn't live without stopping at my favorite local place to pick up a quart. So the GF and I burgers, macaroni salad and H&S soup. It's only $3.50 a quart and it rocks.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you!

The funny part is that I grew up in a Chinese restaurant and I still couldn't tell you.

Really? Did you reverse time warp your post or something, the answer is in your quote...

99 Ranch (referred to as Ranch 99 in your quote, same thing)
