When we get take-out from our local Chinese restaurant we frequently order more than we are planning on eating that night. So last week we ordered our usual moo shu and Mongolian beef but we also got a container of hot and sour soup. I know chances are that during this busy holiday season there will be times when I don’t feel like cooking or have forgotten to take something out to defrost. And there is the hot and sour soup waiting to rescue the situation.
