How to Make Easy Hot And Sour Soup

  1. Squeeze excess water from 4 oz mushrooms and discard tough stems. Thinly slice the mushrooms.
  2. Thinly shred 4 oz chicken breast (or 4 oz firm tofu) and 2 oz bamboo shoots.
  3. In a wok or large pot, bring 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the shredded chicken (or tofu), mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.
  4. Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ½ teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. Add 1-2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (or to taste). Bring to a boil again.
  6. Simmer for 1 minute, or until the soup has thickened slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional) and serve hot.
