Servings: persons

8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons oil
1 -2 tablespoon chili paste
1 tablespoon ginger paste (or minced ginger)
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup bamboo shoot, thinly sliced (one small can's worth)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (or more to taste)
1 pinch sugar
6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1 piece firm tofu, drained, sliced and chopped (optional)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 scallions, chopped
3/4 lb pork chop, thinly sliced
cornstarch
white pepper
1 teaspoon oil

1
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame.
2
Add the smashed garlic, ginger paste, chili paste, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3
Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl, pour it into the pot. Cook 2-3 minutes to let flavors blend.
4
Pour in the chicken broth, bring the soup to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
5
Meanwhile, dust pork with cornstarch. You will probably need about 2-3 tbsp, depending on how much pork you have. Season with a few shakes of white pepper and mix thoroughly.
6
Heat a pan with 1 tbsp oil and fry pork until mostly cooked through. It will finish cooking in the soup but you want the outside a little brown. Add to soup.
7
If you haven't already, dissolve the 3 tbsp cornstarch in the 1/4 cup water and stir until smooth. Pour into the soup and continue to simmer 5 more minutes, until soup thickens. If using tofu, add at this step.
8
Remove the soup from the heat and stir in 1 direction until the soup is spinning on its own. Then, slowly pour in eggs in a steady stream using a fork to stir if necessary to break up pieces. (The egg should be cooked almost immediately.).
9
Add scallions and enjoy!
