Ingredients

• 6 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 block Firm tofu, cubed
• 8 ounces Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Bamboo shoots, julienned
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 large Eggs, beaten
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In the crock pot, combine the broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and white pepper. Stir everything together to mix well.

Step 2

Add the cubed tofu, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and julienned bamboo shoots into the broth mixture.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mushrooms to soften.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to form a slurry. Stir this into the soup in the crock pot to slightly thicken the broth.

Step 5

Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while gently stirring with a fork to create silky egg ribbons.

Step 6

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional soy sauce, vinegar, or white pepper if needed.

Step 7

Ladle the hot and sour soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro, if desired, before serving.
