Hot and Sour Soup with Bean Sprouts
  • 1 serrano chile pepper, seeded and minced
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 5 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • 1/2 pound firm tofu, cut into strips
  • 1 (8 ounce) can bamboo shoot strips, drained
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons tamari

  1. Place the minced serrano and chicken broth into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Stir in the garlic and ginger, simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and bamboo strips, simmer for 2 minutes to soften mushrooms.
  2. Stir in the bean sprouts, tamari, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and black pepper; simmer for 1 minute to soften the bean sprouts.
  3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the mirin, and stir into the simmering soup; cook for 30 seconds to thicken. Remove from heat and pour in beaten egg while stirring slowly. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with green onion and cilantro leaves.
