Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3⁄4 cup button mushroom, sliced
- 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
- 1⁄3 teaspoon white pepper, ground
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water

- 6 ounces tofu, firm, diced
- 2 green onions, diced
- 1⁄3 cup distilled white vinegar
- 3⁄4 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a 3-quart saucepan, simmer chicken broth.
- Then add soy sauce, sliced button mushrooms, and Chili Garlic Sauce. For 5 minutes, simmer.
- Mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Blend the mixture until smooth. Then add the cornstarch mixture to the hot soup and stir well. Thick soup by simmering for 3 or 4 minutes.
- Beat the yolk and white of the egg in a cup until they are combined. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the soup in a fine stream. Slowly stir the soup several times. Cook the egg for 30 seconds without stirring.
- Add green onions and tofu strips to the soup. Mix well. Then remove it from the heat.
- Then add the distilled white vinegar and sesame oil. Serve hot after stirring a few times.
Notes
- Use high-quality chicken broth for the best flavor. If you don't have homemade chicken broth, you can use store-bought chicken stock or broth.
- Make sure to slice the button mushrooms thinly and uniformly for even cooking and texture.
- When adding the cornstarch mixture to the soup, make sure to whisk it well to avoid any lumps.
- The beaten egg should be poured into the soup slowly and in a fine stream. This will create the characteristic egg ribbons in the soup.
- To prevent the tofu from breaking up, dice it into small, uniform pieces.
- For an extra kick of heat, you can add more Chili Garlic Sauce to taste.
- Serve the soup hot and garnish with additional sliced green onions, if desired.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
