Soup Base

Vegetables and Proteins

Seasonings

Method

Preparing the Soup Base

  1. 1

    Combine Broth and Seasonings

    In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth and water. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cornstarch Slurry

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 4 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Adding Vegetables and Proteins

  1. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Once the broth is boiling, add the sliced mushrooms, julienned carrots, bamboo shoots, and cubed tofu. Stir gently and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Cornstarch Slurry

    Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the soup. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Final Touches

  1. 5

    Add Eggs

    With the soup boiling gently, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while stirring the soup. This will create egg ribbons in the soup.

  2. 6

    Season to Taste

    Add white pepper, salt, and chili paste or sauce according to your taste. Stir well and remove from heat.

  3. 7

    Garnish

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
