Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, add the minced pork and cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrots, and bamboo shoots to the pot. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Soup

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup to thicken it, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Tofu and Seasonings

    Gently add the cubed soft tofu to the soup. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper, and sesame oil. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add Eggs

    Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
