Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Rehydrate the dried ingredients (15 minutes in lukewarm water for the shiitakes, and in boiling water for the lily buds and tree ears). Heat the broth.

Mince the garlic and ginger and combine them. Shred the pork loin. Shred the bamboo shoots. Combine the cornstarch and the water. Chop the green onions. Lightly beat the eggs.


Heat oil in wok; add garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds. Add the pork, cooking until it loses its pink color. Add the soy sauce, cook for 1 minute more.

Add bamboo shoots, shiitakes, lily buds, fungi, and stir quickly for one minute.

Stir in broth, sherry and vinegar.

Stir cornstarch/water mix one last time and add it to the soup.

Add the tofu and bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat to low and add the green onions. Add the beaten eggs in a slow stream, stirring several times. Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil, chile oil/garlic chile paste, and white pepper. Season to taste and serve immediately.
