Steps

1

Dice the carrot, green onion, and leek into small pieces. Slice the shiitake mushrooms.
2

In a large pot, heat about 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Add the carrot and cook until it starts to brown. Add the green onion and leek, sauté for a few minutes, then add the shiitake mushrooms.
3

Add the rice vinegar, stir, and let it evaporate. Pour in the chicken broth, add the 2 dried chili peppers, black pepper, ginger, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes.
4

While the soup simmers, cut the chicken breast into small cubes. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water.
5

After 20 minutes, add the chicken breast to the soup and cook for a few minutes. Then add the cornstarch mixture, stir, and let the soup thicken slightly.
6

Beat the egg as you would for scrambled eggs and slowly pour it into the soup while stirring constantly. Serve very hot.
