Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sweet red peppers (cut into 3/4"x1/4" strips) and green onions; stir-fry for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and soy sauce; bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil until smooth.
  6. Slowly stir the vinegar mixture into the simmering soup along with fresh snow peas.
  7. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens and becomes bubbly.
  8. Gently add the tofu cubes and drained water chestnuts to the pot.
  9. Heat through for 1-2 minutes without boiling vigorously to keep tofu intact; serve immediately.
