Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 6 oz dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated and sliced
- 8 oz bamboo shoots
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar or more to taste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce reduced-sodium
- 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs whisked
- 8 ounces firm tofu pressed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 fresh ground white pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Add the chicken broth, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chili paste to a large stockpot or Dutch oven, over medium heat and stir to combine until the mixture starts to simmer.
- In a small bowl, whisk ¼ cup of water and cornstarch until completely smooth. Stir in the cornstarch mixture into the soup, until the soup has thickened.
- While stirring the soup in a circular motion, drizzle in the eggs in a thin stream, while still stirring the soup, until the eggs are cooked.
- Stir in the tofu, half of the green onions, sugar and sesame oil. Season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste.
- For a more “sour” soup, add in another tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. For a spicier soup, add in more chili garlic sauce.
- Serve with the extra green onions.
