About this recipe: This light, refreshing soup has flavours that are characteristic of Chinese cookery: sesame, ginger and star anise. The dried mushrooms and dried prawns add intense flavour; they can be found in larger supermarkets and Asian food stores. PS Tined ingredients are optional I rather use fresh all the way.
