胡辣汤 (Hu La Tang) is the most popular breakfast in He Nan province. Tang means soup, Hu is the first character of peppercorns in Chinese, and La means hot or spicy. This dish is famous for its outstanding peppery flavor and a lasting, complex spice fragrance. The soup is warm, creamy, and thick – perfect for winter.

  1. Hi, thanks alot, great instructions for a fantastic dish! But I wonder, why bother stripping the gluten? Why not leave it in the starch water, if you add it anyways?

  2. Hi, I generally cook for 1, would this soup freeze well or how long would it keep in the fridge?

  3. Hi, could you do a similar stock with a whole chicken broken into pieces and make the soup from there?

  4. I would have never thought my disliked Zhengzhou breakfast was this much work, now I feel bad!

  5. I remember when i was in 西安 one of my friend took me to this shop and we ate 胡辣汤 early 5 am i guess .. we drank all night and i ate best 胡辣汤

  6. You made seitan! I love this! When I was in high school, like the 1990's, used to make this a lot. I would fortify it with flavors that imitated chicken.

  7. Удивительно – какие глубокие разработки в области кулинарии, а такая неудобная ложка. И до вилки не додумались. И не говорите, что палочками удобнее.

  8. I spent almost 13 years in Henan, Luoyang. My wife and I miss Hu La Tang very much. She will be happy that I found this Hu la tang Recipe. THANKS!
