Instructions
- Over medium high heat add all of the stock, except 1/4 cup, to a large dutch oven or stock pot.
- Add the mushrooms, vinegar, soy, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and white pepper to the stock. Mix and then bring it all to a simmer and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a saute pan on medium, cook ground pork until done, crumbling as it cooks. Approximately 7-10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove pork from pan onto a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
- While pork cooks, add 1/8 cup of cornstarch to the bowl with the 1/4 cup of stock. Once the stock comes to a simmer, stir in cornstarch stirring continuously until soup begins to thicken.
- Gently drizzle the whisked eggs into the soup while stirring the soup continuously . This will create egg ribbons.
- Add pork, stir, and add more salt or chili garlic paste to taste.
- Top with green onions and serve!

Notes
- Storage:
- Storage:
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freezing for up to 3 months. When reheating after frozen, add a little more cornstarch / water or stock because freezing will affect the soups thickness.
- Substitutions:
- Substitutions:
- Protein - Use pork with a combination of a firm tofu or just all tofu. Use a firm tofu and add in with the mushrooms. You could also poach chicken in the stock and then shred and add back to soup with the mushrooms.
- Mushrooms - Use your favorite! If using shiitake, be sure to remove the stems.
- Vinegar - You can use an unseasoned rice vinegar or white or brown (apple cider) vinegar.
- Chili Garlic Sauce - You can also/and use red pepper flakes or dried chilis. Start small and go up, you can always make it spicier but it's much harder to make it less spicy.
