1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (sliced), 1 tablespoon sliced ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and chili flakes (1/4 tsp for mild, 1/2 tsp for medium, 1 tsp for spicy).
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
3. In a bowl, toss 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch strips) with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar.
5. Increase the heat under the soup to medium-high and bring back to a boil.
6. Add the chicken to the boiling soup and cook for 2-3 minutes until almost cooked through.
7. Slowly drizzle in 1 large egg, stirring gently to create thin ribbons of egg.
8. Stir in the cornstarch and vinegar mixture.
9. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the soup has thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
11. Serve hot and enjoy!
