Panda Express Copycat Hot and Sour Soup image

This is a clear broth soup flavored with vinegar, white pepper, chili garlic sauce and sesame oil. It contains button mushrooms, sliced tofu and diced green onions. Make sure to use white ground pepper and the sesame oil. Black pepper doesn't give the same taste. Those are the "secret ingredients" that give the soup the unique taste.

I'm always looking for vegetarian recipes, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The tofu is a great source of protein, and it absorbs all the delicious flavors of the soup.

I've tried several Panda Express copycat recipes, but this one is by far the most authentic. The bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms give it that signature texture and flavor.
