Ingredients:





   1/2 lb Firm tofu


     4 c  Water


     1    Celery stalk


     2 c  Napa cabbage, sliced


     4    Green onions


     3 tb Soy sauce


     1 ts Garlic, crisp-fried in oil


   1/2 c  Cilantro sprigs, chopped


   1/8 ts White pepper, ground






 Cut the tofu into cubes & place it in a large pot with water.  Slice


 the celery diagonally into pieces about 1/8" thick & 1" long.  Slice


 the cabbage into pieces 1/4" wide & 1" long.  Add the vegetables to


 the pot. Bring to a gentle boil & cook about 3 minutes: the celery


 should be tender-crisp.  Meanwhile, slice the onions diagonally into


 pieces about 1/8" thick & set aside.


 


 Add the onions, soy sauce & crisp-fried garlic with its oil, to the


 pot. Remove the soup from the heat immediately & pour into a soup


 tureen. Garnish with cilantro sprigs & sprinkle the pepper on top.
