Ingredients
- 2 quarts (1.9 L) chicken broth
- 1 piece of fresh ginger about the size of a walnut, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound (225 g) lean pork (I use boneless loin.)
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) white vinegar
- 2 cans (6 1/2 ounces, or 170 g each) mushrooms
- 1 cake (about 10 ounces, or 280g) firm tofu
- 1 can (8 ounces, or 225 g) bamboo shoots
- 5 eggs
Method
- Put the broth in a soup pot and set it over medium heat
- Add the ginger to the broth and let it simmer for a few minutes
- While the broth simmers, slice the pork into small cubes or strips
- Stir the pork, soy sauce, pepper, vinegar, and mushrooms (you don’t need to drain them) into the broth
- Let it simmer for 10 minutes or so until the pork is cooked through
- Cut the tofu into small cubes
- You can also cut the canned bamboo shoots into thinner strips
- Stir the tofu and bamboo shoots into the soup and let it simmer another few minutes
- Taste the soup; it wont be very hot- spicy-hot, that is, not temperature-hot- so if you like it hotter, add more pepper and some hot pepper sauce
- You can also add a little extra vinegar
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and then pour them in a thin stream over the surface of the soup
- Stir them in, and you’ll get a billion little shreds of cooked egg in your soup
- Who needs noodles?
