Ingredients
Beef treatment
- 1 cup beef minced
- pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon cooking wine
Other ingredients
- 1 egg well whisked, white
- 1 ginger minced, thumb-sized piece
- 2 shiitake mushrooms chopped
- 5 cups beef broth , unsalted
- 5 tablespoons corn starch + 5 tablespoons water
- 1/3 tofu around 100g, tender; box
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pinch salt
- 1 Coriander minced for garnishing, small bunch
Instructions
- Marinate minced beef with salt and cooking wine. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
- Bring water to boil in a pot and cook the minced beef for 2-3 minutes over high fire (this helps to remove any odd taste of the beef), transfer beef out and separated them by pressing with a scoop.
- In a small bowl, mix 5 tablespoons of cornstarch and 5 tablespoons of water to make water starch. Do not add cornstarch directly in the soup, otherwise you will end up with transparent cornstarch chunks instead of thick soup
- Load another large pot with beef broth; add beef, shiitake mushrooms, tofu and minced ginger. Bring to boil and simmer for around 10 minutes.
- Pour water starch in and cook for another 1 minute. Turn up the fire and drop the egg white slowly using one hand and in the mean time, stir the soup quickly with the other hand.
- Add ground pepper and serve with chopped coriander. Add chopped coriander and mix well before enjoying.
Notes
- I do not recommend adding the coriander directly in the large bowl. If the soup is not finished within 10 minutes, you will find the coriander leaves turns dark green and lose the aroma.
