Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Broth

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Soup

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Slowly add this mixture to the boiling broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms, julienned carrots, and cubed tofu. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the chopped green onions, white pepper, and sesame oil to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Eggs

    Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Final Touch

    Taste the soup and add chili paste to your liking. Serve hot.
