An authentic hot and sour soup recipe that only takes 15 minutes to make from start to finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 quart chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white ground pepper
  • 10 shiitake mushrooms (sliced into strips)
  • 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (cut into thin strips)
  • 1 cup medium firm tofu (cut into bite size cubes)
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 large egg (whisked)
  • 2 stalks scallions (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a pot over high heat, add broth, soy sauce, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
  2. Lower heat to a simmer (slight bubbling) and add mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu. Cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Add vinegar, sesame oil and cornstarch mixture – stir it before pouring it in – and cook for 2 minutes.
