I've grown up with this dish and credit it heavily with building my tolerance of spicy food. This Shanghainese dish is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. Eat it with steamed white rice or white rice porridge for a kick in the morning!

The soup: This is the most important part which gives the rest of the bowl its flavor.
