Steps:

• 1. Bring chicken stock to simmer 2. Add soy sauce, pork (raw julienned loin or cooked sausage), mushrooms, and chile paste. Simmer 10 minutes 3. Add pepper, vinegar, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and tofu. Simmer 5 minutes 4. Add cornstarch and water mixture 5. Bring back to a simmer, and add julienned carrots. 6. Simmer for 5 minutes and add sesame oil. 7. Taste and adjust flavor by addition more vinegar, soy sauce, chile paste, or pump up chicken flavor with a packet or two of Chicken Flavor Burst. 7. Serve with chopped onions and cilantro on top of hot soup.

Steps:

• Toss pork with dark soy sauce in a bowl until pork is well coated.
• Soak black and tree ear mushrooms in 3 cups boiling-hot water in another bowl (water should cover mushrooms), turning over black mushrooms occasionally, until softened, about 30 minutes. (Tree ears will expand significantly.) Cut out and discard stems from black mushrooms, then squeeze excess liquid from caps into bowl and thinly slice caps. Remove tree ears from bowl, reserving liquid, and trim off any hard nubs. If large, cut tree ears into bite-size pieces. Stir together 1/4 cup mushroom-soaking liquid (discard remainder) with cornstarch in a small bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, soak lily buds in about 1 cup warm water until softened, about 20 minutes, then drain. Trim off tough tips of lily buds. Cut lily buds in half crosswise, then tear each half lengthwise into 2 or 3 shreds.
• Cover bamboo shoots with cold water by 2 inches in a small saucepan, then bring just to a boil (to remove bitterness) and drain in a sieve.
• Stir together vinegars, light soy sauce, sugar, and salt in another small bowl.
• Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Pour peanut oil down side of wok, then swirl oil, tilting wok to coat sides. Add pork and stir-fry until meat just changes color, about 1 minute, then add black mushrooms, tree ears, lily buds, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry 1 minute.
• Add broth and bring to a boil, then add tofu. Return to a boil and add vinegar mixture. Stir cornstarch mixture, then add to broth and return to a boil, stirring. (Liquid will thicken.) Reduce heat to moderate and simmer 1 minute.
• Beat eggs with a fork and add a few drops of sesame oil. Add eggs to soup in a thin stream, stirring slowly in one direction with a spoon. Stir in white pepper, then drizzle in remaining sesame oil and divide among 6 to 8 bowls. Sprinkle with scallions and cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Bring stock to a simmer.
• Add soy sauce, pork, mushrooms and chile paste. Simmer for 10 minute.
• Add pepper, vinegar, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, fungus and tofu.
• Simmer 5 minute.
• Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add.
• Bring back to simmer and pour the eggs in a very thin stream over the surface. Let stand for 10 sec. before stirring in the sesame oil.
• Serve with a garnish of chopped scallions.
• NOTE: The pepper, chile paste and vinegar can be varied for taste. I also omit the pork and use less egg.

Steps:

• Heat stock in large saucepan over medium heat.
• Place noodles in a bowl, add boiling water to cover and soak until soft-about 3-5 minutes Drain and add to the stock.
• Place mushrooms in a bowl, add boiling water to cover and soak for 5 minutes.
• Drain, slice thinly and add to the stock.
• Add diced chicken, bamboo shoots and ginger and stir to combine.
• Cook until chicken is tender, 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in remaining ingredients and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
• Taste and adjust seasonings by adding a little more vinegar or chili as desired.
• Serve immediately, ladled into bowls.

Steps:

• Soak the dried mushrooms and tiger lily buds in warm water for 20 minutes. After trimming off any tough stems, slice the mushrooms. With the fingers, shred the tiger lily stems.
• Place the mushrooms, tiger lily buds, stock, bamboo shoots, and shredded pork into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Stir in soy sauce, sugar, salt, white pepper, and vinegar. Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Add a little of the hot soup to the cornstarch, and then return all to the pan. Heat to boiling, stirring. Add the bean curd, and cook 1 to 2 minutes.
• Just before serving, turn off the heat. Stir the egg in gradually. Mix in sesame oil. Sprinkle each serving with scallions.

Steps:

• Bring soup stock to a boil, add.
• shredded pork, black mushrooms and wood ears.
• Cook 2-3 minutes.
• Add remainder of ingredients and seasonings (except cornstarch, eggs, and green onion) reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Thicken with cornstarch and turn off heat.
• Slowly pour in beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring.
• Serve immediately.
• Garnish with green onion.
• If soup is to be prepared ahead of time, do not add cornstarch and eggs until serving time.
• Otherwise the egg will be overcooked and spoil the appearance.
• Soup should be quite hot and sour.
• Adjust the hotness with varying amount of white pepper and the sourness with different amounts of vinegar.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high flame.
• Add the smashed garlic, ginger paste, chili paste, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl, pour it into the pot. Cook 2-3 minutes to let flavors blend.
• Pour in the chicken broth, bring the soup to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, dust pork with cornstarch. You will probably need about 2-3 tbsp, depending on how much pork you have. Season with a few shakes of white pepper and mix thoroughly.
• Heat a pan with 1 tbsp oil and fry pork until mostly cooked through. It will finish cooking in the soup but you want the outside a little brown. Add to soup.
• If you haven't already, dissolve the 3 tbsp cornstarch in the 1/4 cup water and stir until smooth. Pour into the soup and continue to simmer 5 more minutes, until soup thickens. If using tofu, add at this step.
• Remove the soup from the heat and stir in 1 direction until the soup is spinning on its own. Then, slowly pour in eggs in a steady stream using a fork to stir if necessary to break up pieces. (The egg should be cooked almost immediately.).
• Add scallions and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of the water to a boil. Place the bamboo shoots in a small heatproof bowl and pour 1/2 cup of the boiling water over them; let soak for 5 minutes then drain. Add the dried mushrooms to the water to the water remaining in the saucepan and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain the mushrooms through a sieve, reserving the soaking liquid. Slice the mushrooms, discarding the stems.
• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 4 minutes or until no longer pink on the outside. Add the soaked mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, green onions, stock, soy sauce, honey, and mushroom soaking liquid. Bring the sauce pan mixture to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup water. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the simmering soup and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the tofu, vinegar, and red pepper sauce. Cook until the tofu is heated through.
