Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup ginger, fresh chopped
1/4 cup garlic, fresh chopped
1 cup mushroom, fresh sliced
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar, japanese
2 tablespoons sugar, white granulated
1 1/4 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoots, drained
2 cups water

12 ounces spinach, fresh chopped

Preparation

Saute first 4 ingredients together for 5 min, add mushrooms for another few min untill almost tender.
Add next 5 ingredients and set aside. (Bamboo will absorb more flavors from peppers and soya if allowed to sit for a few minutes.).
Chop spinach and set aside.
Mix water and corn starch in a seperate bowl or cup untill smooth.
Replace pot on stove, add water & cornstarch mixture to soya and bamboo mixture, cook till somewhat thickened.
Slowly add chicken stock and bring to boil.
Add oriental vegetables, simmer about 4 minutes,.
Add spinach and simmer untill spinach is just wilted.
Enjoy your guilt free soup!
