Come preparare

1
Soak the dried shiitakes in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving up to 150 ml of clear soaking liquid, then slice the mushrooms and prepare the tofu, bamboo shoots, ginger, and scallions.
2
Combine the warm vegetable stock, reserved mushroom liquid if using, soy sauce, sliced shiitakes, tofu, bamboo shoots, ginger, and the white parts of the scallions in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
3
Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 8 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and the ginger smells aromatic.

4
Stir the cornstarch slurry, then pour it into the simmering soup in a thin stream while stirring. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the broth lightly coats a spoon.
5
Stir in the Chinkiang vinegar, white pepper, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust the vinegar or soy sauce so the broth is sharply sour, savory, and peppery.
6
Stir the soup in one direction and slowly drizzle in the beaten pasteurized eggs. Let them set into fine ribbons for 30 seconds, then remove the pan from the heat.
7
Ladle the soup into four warmed bowls and scatter over the green scallion tops. Serve immediately with extra vinegar or chili oil if desired.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

A balanced sequence of savory soy, aromatic ginger, peppery heat, and bright black vinegar gives the broth its recognizable hot-and-sour profile, while cornstarch adds just enough body to carry the tofu and mushrooms.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Cool the soup promptly and refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 3 days. Store garnishes separately when possible.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming throughout; do not boil vigorously, or the tofu and egg will toughen.
