Lemongrass Egg Soup

Well, does the name of this recipe sound weird???  In fact,  I need to clear my fridge as we will be away for a week for Raya holidays.  So, when I 'rummaged' through my fridge, I found out that I still have some lemongrass, tomatoes, fried tofu strips, fish cakes and fried soya beancurd (fuchuk).  Instantly, it crossed my mind that I would like to cook soup with lemongrass.  So, this recipe is the result of leftover foods in the fridge!


Ingredients :

       Lemongrass                  Fried 'fuchuk'

       Fried beancurd strips        Tomatoes
                           Eggs

Seasonings :
   
      Japanese Miso               Garlic and Ginger

Well, the end result is quite satisfying.  You can give it a try and be creative in your ingredients and seasonings according to your preferences. Do let me know if you have a better idea how to cook it.
Enjoy!!
