Time 47m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ounce dried wood ear mushrooms (also called tree ears or black fungus, optional)
7 ounces soft tofu
4 cups water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
5 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon hot chili sauce (sambal oelek)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup bamboo shoot
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
2 egg yolks
1 strip red pepper
fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Soak the wood ears in warm water for 20-30 minutes until they swell up and become soft.
  • Rinse under cold water, and cut into thin ribons, discarding any hard centers; set aside.
  • Slice tofu into long thin strips; set aside.
  • Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a soup pot; add the soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, sugar, vinegar, sambal oelek, and salt and stir to blend.
  • Lower heat to medium and cook for several minutes.
  • Add the bamboo shoots and cook for a minute before adding the wood ears, the tofu, and the sesame oil.
  • Cook the soup for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch which should be dissolved in the 1 tablespoonful of water.
  • Beat the egg yolks lightly and slide into the soup; turn off the heat and DO NOT STIR.
  • The egg will cook into the hot soup and stay in pieces (if you stir it will shrivel).
  • Pour soup into serving bowls and garnish with strips of red pepper and cilantro leaves.

I love this recipe! The soup is so flavorful and has just the right amount of heat. I always add extra vegetables, like carrots and broccoli, to make it even more nutritious.

This soup was delicious! I used chicken instead of shrimp and it was still amazing. The broth is so flavorful and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
