Steps

1

Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in a small bowl of water until soft, then slice them into thin strips. Reserve the soaking water. Cut the pork belly, carrot, and tofu into thin strips and set aside.
2

Heat a pan and stir-fry the pork belly until it releases some fat. Add the carrot and mushroom strips, and stir-fry until lightly golden.
3

Drizzle the soy sauce around the edge of the pan, then pour in the reserved mushroom soaking water and enough boiling water to fill the pot about 80%. Stir and cover to simmer.
4

Once the soup comes to a boil, add the cornstarch slurry to thicken. Add the tofu and pour in the beaten eggs while stirring. Before serving, add the apple cider vinegar, ground black pepper, cilantro, and a dash of sesame oil.
