Mixed vegetable soup recipe

Pairing napa cabbage and bean thread noodles / mung bean noodles in a mixed vegetable soup dish called chap chai is quite common in Singapore.

Both ingredients are fairly cheap but bulky so this dish can go a long way. To enhance the flavour, sometimes I will add a small piece of fermented bean curd.

This is a recession-friendly recipe, there is a more elaborate version at recipe for vegetarian soup with bean thread noodles.

There is another variation to the recipe where napa cabbage is substituted with the green round cabbage.

Ingredients
100g napa cabbage
30g carrot
150g bean thread noodles, soaked till softened
500ml stock
Salt
1 tbsp cooking oil

1. Wash the napa cabbage and cut into strips
