P.f. Chang's Hot and Sour Soup

Ingredients

  • 6 6 6 ounces chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 1 1 quart chicken stock
  • 1 1 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 6 6 6 ounces bamboo shoots, cut into strips (canned is perfect)
  • 6 6 6 ounces wood ear mushrooms, cut into strips (or canned straw mushrooms, if woodear can't be found)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Cook chicken strips till done. Set aside.

Bring stock to boil. Add soy sauce, white pepper, bamboo, mushrooms and chicken. Stir. Let cook for 3 minutes.

While cooking, in separate bowl combine cornstarch and water to make slurry. Add slurry a little at a time and stir until thick (all slurry may not be necessary, so add as much as necessary for desired thickness - I used about 3/4 of slurry).

Add eggs while stirring and cook for 30 seconds or until eggs are done.

Turn off heat. Add vinegar and tofu, give it a quick stir. Spoon into bowls and enjoy!
