    Hot and Sour Soup

    Ingredients

    • 8 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
    • 225g shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • 225g cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • wood ear (remember to presoak if using), thinly sliced
    • 1 (225g) can bamboo shoots, drained (optional)
    • ¼ cup white vinegar
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
    • 0.5 cm slice of ginger
    • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
    • ¼ cup cornstarch
    • 2 large eggs, whisked
    • 225g soft tofu cut into 1 cm cubes
    • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • white pepper
    • salt

    Note: The recipe contains three different fungi. All 3 fungi are optional, however you should add at least one. Preference is Shiitake > Cremini > Wood ear. Ideally, you should at the very least add Shiitake or Cremini. If you can add all three, add all three.

    Instructions

    1. In a large stock pot, combine the broth, mushrooms, bamboo shoots (if using), ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

    2. Remove ginger. Add white vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce.

    3. In a small bowl, whisk ¼ cup of water with the cornstarch until smooth. Once the soup is simmering, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for about 1 minute, until the soup thickens.

    4. Bring soup back to a rolling boil. While stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle in the whisked eggs to create delicate ribbons.

    5. Stir in most of the green onions (reserve a little for garnish), sesame oil, and tofu. Add a pinch of white pepper. Taste the soup. Adjust:

      • Salt for saltiness/flavor.
      • White pepper for spiciness or chili garlic sauce to make it a lot more spicy.
      • Sugar if too sour.
      • Vinegar if not sour enough.
    6. Ladle into bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve immediately.

    Disclaimer: although no recipe I share will ever explicitly say to add msg just know I always add a little bit (usually at the end, during the tasting and salting phase) to whatever I make.
