First, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add two or three chicken boullion cubes depending on your taste buds. I used 3.

While waiting for water to boil:
Break off 1 cup of cauliflower florets from a head a cauliflower.

Cut some firm tofu into about 2cm cubes. I used 1/2 cup of tofu.

Tear some cabbage leaves up into bite-sized pieces. Again, I ended up with 1/2 cup of cabbage pieces

Break 1 cup of crab meat up into managable chunks. I cheaped out and used imitation crab meat.

Once the water is boiling and the boullion has dissolved, add the other ingredients. Bring to a rolling boil, covered for 10 minutes or until cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally.

Finally, add some of the magic ingredient to taste. Careful! This stuff is pretty hot. I recommend adding just a bit to the pot of soup, and letting everyone add a little to their own soup after serving.

I wanted to add baby corn, chicken breast and shrimp to it as well, but the butcher/seafood section was closed and the only baby corn they had was pickled. GROSS!

Yum! I've got my own variation of Thai noodle soup that is similar.
