Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • pinch salt
  • ¼ cup water plus more if needed
  • 1 large tomato
  • ¾ cup leafy greens if you’re in the mood

Instructions
 

  • Start by dicing your tomatoes and chopping up your leafy greens.
  • Make the dough knots by mixing flour and water in a large bowl. With a whisk, mix until your dough slightly starts to take shape. You don’t need it to be hard.
  • Make the soup by sautéing your tomatoes in a pan. Cook until the juices are released.
  • Add in water (or vegetable stock if you’ve got it) and salt until it’s got that perfectly sweet and sour taste that you like.
  • Now make the dough knots. This is easier than it sounds. With a pair of chopsticks, pick up pieces of your dough and drop them into the soup. Let it cook for a minute before stirring.
  • Finally, add in your leafy greens and let them cook for just a little while. Taste and season accordingly.
  • Garnish with some chopped spring onion or cilantro.
