The heat in this chinese hot and sour soup with ramen comes from dried red chillies and white pepper. The soup has to be on the hotter side. The sourness comes from adding vinegar right at the end. If you add the vinegar in the beginning or towards the middle, the vinegar will evaporate during cooking. Which is why add the vinegar right at the end.

This chinese hot and sour soup with ramen is one of those easy soupy meals that everyone in the family will love. You can turn down the heat if that’s what you prefer but personally, I like that this soup clears up the sinuses and keeps me warm!
