Hot and Sour Soup

Ingredients

  • For the Soup Base

    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
    • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • For the Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (shiitake or wood ear mushrooms are ideal)
    • 1/2 cup bamboo shoots, julienned
    • 1/2 cup tofu, cut into small cubes
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water (for thickening)
    • 1 beaten egg

  • Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
    • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Soup Base

    • In a large pot, bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a boil.
    • Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, and sugar. Stir well.

  2. Cook the Ingredients

    • Add sliced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and tofu. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. Thicken the Soup

    • Slowly stir in the cornstarch-water mixture. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the soup thickens.

  4. Add the Egg

    • Reduce heat to low. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup while stirring gently to create egg ribbons.

Tips for Perfect Hot and Sour Soup

  • For extra heat, add more chili paste or a dash of chili oil.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock and skip the egg.
  • Add protein like shredded chicken or shrimp for a heartier soup.

Enjoy your flavorful and comforting Chinese soup! 🥣
