How to Make Hunan Hot And Sour Soup

  1. Heat 6 cups of vegetable or chicken stock in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons tamari.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup cubed firm tofu, 1 cup shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup frozen peas, and 1/2 cup cooked chicken or pork (diced).
  5. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Slowly pour the mixture into the soup while stirring constantly.
  7. Continue to cook and stir until the soup thickens, about 1 minute.
  8. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of chili garlic sauce or paste, or to your desired level of spiciness.
  9. Remove from heat.
  10. Slowly drizzle in 2 lightly beaten eggs while stirring gently to create ribbons of egg in the soup.
  11. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or cilantro and serve immediately.
