I love this hot and sour soup. It warms your body from the core on a cold day. It also livens up your appetite on a hot day.

I used to add chicken to this soup, but I think it tastes better if you just add vegetable, so I changed the recipe. You can also use any leftover vegetables, tofu etc. in your fridge. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki

Soak the wood ear mushrooms in a water to rehydrate, then cut into thin strips. Cut the carrots, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, scallions into thin strips as well.

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, add the Chinese soup stock base and all the vegetables, then simmer. Season with sake and soy sauce.

Add the katakuriko slurry (dissolve katakuriko in 2 tablespoons of water) to thicken the soup. Pour in the beaten eggs, stir it a little, and turn off the heat.

Add the ★ ingredients. If the taste is too weak, add some salt. Pour the soup in a bowl and generously sprinkle with black peppers. Top with a green garnish like scallions if available.
