Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rehydrate the Mushrooms

    In a bowl, soak the dried shiitake and wood ear mushrooms in hot water for about 30 minutes until they are soft. Drain and slice them into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Prepare Tofu and Vegetables

    While the mushrooms are soaking, dice the tofu into small cubes, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Broth and Water

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables and Mushrooms

    Once the broth is boiling, add the rehydrated mushrooms, carrots, and tofu to the pot. Stir to combine and let cook for 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper, and sesame oil. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes.

  4. 6

    Thicken the Soup

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the soup while stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens.

  5. 7

    Add Egg and Green Onions

    Reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create ribbons. Add the chopped green onions and stir to combine.

  6. 8

    Adjust Flavor

    Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce, rice vinegar, or chili paste to achieve your desired level of heat and sourness.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve Hot

    Ladle the hot and sour soup into bowls and garnish with additional green onions or chili paste if desired. Serve immediately.
