1/3 can of sliced bamboo shoots julienned (small can like 6-8 oz)
1/3 1/2 package of medium or soft tofu cut into matchsticks (easiest to leave in plastic container and use knife to cut in the container)

5
Add apple cider vinegar to taste (likely about 3-4 tablespoons)

9
Take off heat and drizzle scrambled egg into the soup.
