Ingredients
- 6 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 cup Firm tofu, cubed
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ground white pepper, and salt.
Step 5
Add the shiitake mushrooms and firm tofu to the pot. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
Step 6
Sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the soup while continuously stirring to prevent clumping. Allow the soup to thicken slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring steadily in a circular motion. This will create silky egg ribbons.
Step 8
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the green onions.
Step 9
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy!
