Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Rehydrate the dried shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms according to package directions, then slice them thinly. Reserve the mushroom soaking liquid if desired, straining it carefully.

   Около 15 мин

   Совет повара: Soaking mushrooms in warm water can speed up rehydration.

2. 2

   Drain the firm tofu and slice it into thin strips (julienne).

   Около 3 мин

3. 3

   In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, julienned tofu, and bamboo shoots.

   Около 2 мин

4. 4

   Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

   Около 5 мин

5. 5

   Stir in the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and chili garlic sauce.

   Около 1 мин

   Совет повара: Adjust chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level.

6. 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

   Около 1 мин

7. 7

   Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering soup while continuously stirring, until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.

   Около 2 мин

   Совет повара: Add the slurry gradually to avoid lumps and control thickness.

8. 8

   Once the soup is simmering again, slowly drizzle in the beaten egg in a thin stream while gently stirring the soup in a circular motion to create delicate egg ribbons.

   Около 2 мин

   Совет повара: Stirring too vigorously will break up the egg ribbons.

9. 9

   Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more vinegar, soy sauce, or white pepper to your preference.
