How did Euro & Friend do during Week 3 of their challenge? You better tune in to find out!

Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons is MIA today, but the studio was brimming over with guests. Of course, Euro & Friend stop by to give us the latest on their break from smoking, plus Yvonne Russell from Inclusion PR to discuss their 60th (!!) anniversary celebration, and even Amy Sharp (!!!) pops by with an update on Anakin Fretts.

Of course, tons of great music from Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Wall of Voodoo, New Pornographers and more!

SOUP OF THE DAY -BOK CHOY/MUSHROOM/TOFU

The stock for this soup should be light in flavour. To use canned or boxed stock, use 3 cups (750 mL) stock and 2 cups (500 mL) water. Serve the soup alongside the dumplings, as you would a side vegetable.

Chinese Chicken Stock
Ingredients
2 lb (907 g) chicken pieces, (backs, legs) 3 slices gingerroot
2 green onions, (white and light green parts only)
1 sprig coriander, (root and stems only)
2 tbsp (30 mL) Chinese rice wine
1 tsp (5 mL) peppercorns
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
Preparation
In Dutch oven, bring chicken and 10 cups (2.5 L) water to boil; reduce heat to simmer. Skim off scum. Add ginger, onions, coriander, wine, peppercorns and salt; cook until flavourful, about 2 hours. Strain through fine sieve. Skim off any fat. (Make-ahead: Let cool; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.)

Soup Ingredients
5 cups (1.25 L) Chinese Chicken Stock Recipe
1 pkg (300 g) regular or medium tofu, cut into 3/4 inch/2 cm cubes
1 cup (250 mL) thinly sliced mushrooms
4 cups (1 L) chopped bok choy or spinach or napa cabbage, (12 oz/375 g)
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, approx (optional)
1 thinly sliced green onion
1/2 tsp (2 mL) sesame oil
1 pinch white pepper
1/4 cup (60 mL) coriander leaves, (optional)

Preparation
In Dutch oven, bring stock to boil; add tofu and mushrooms. Reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes.
Add bok choy; simmer until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Taste and add salt if desired. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with onion, sesame oil and pepper. Top with coriander (if using).
