Steps
Prepare the vegetables: slice the shiitake, king oyster, and wood ear mushrooms. Cube the tofu and slice the green onions. Set aside.
Heat a little bit of vegetable oil (food lube) in a large pot over medium heat.
Add a singular chili to the oil and sauté until the oil is nice and fragrant.
Discard the chili from the oil once it has infused its flavor.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and grate in the fresh ginger.
Season the broth by adding the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken powder, sugar, white pepper, and salt.
Carefully add the cubed tofu, sliced mushrooms, and bamboo shoots to the pot.
Bring the mixture up to a boil.
Drizzle in the cornstarch slurry while stirring until the soup is nice and thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the four eggs with a little bit of water.
Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the boiling soup while stirring to create egg ribbons.
Finish the soup by adding the white vinegar and sesame oil. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
The creator emphasizes that the wood ear mushrooms are essential for texture despite their appearance. Adjust the white vinegar at the end to your preferred level of sourness.
