Quick chinese soups are suitable for seafood and fresh green vegetables that cooks quickly. Simply bring the water to a boil, throw all the ingredients in and boil till they are cooked. Since it is quick boil, there is insufficient time for the ingredients to "impart" flavour to the soup. Instead of water, make sure soup stocks are used as the soup base. Marinating the ingredients become an important preparation step. When meat like pork or beef are thinly sliced for quick soups, they should be marinated with some seasonings. If the recipe does not include any seasonings for marinating the ingredients, you may use a little light soy sauce, pepper and sesame seed oil. Alternatively, a little oyster sauce will do the trick too. After marinating, the meat should be coated with a little cornstarch. The cornstarch coats the meat slices giving them a smoother texture when cooked. It also prevents moisture from escaping from the meat. Without the marinating and cornstarch, the meat slices tend to become dry, tough and fibrous. If you feel that your soup is too oily, you can skinny the soup. Leave the soup to cool and stand for a while. The oil will float to the surface where you can then scoop them out with a spoon. If you have more time on hand, another easy method is to leave the soup in the refrigerator. The oil will coagulate on the surface of the soup where you can literally lift it up. I hope you get a kick out of lifting the fat from the soup (I know I do) because they are not going to my waist and thighs.
