 Directions

Soak dried shitakes and "tree ears" in water. Toss pork, cornstarch, salt,
and 1 teaspoon soy sauce together in bowl. Set aside. Combine chicken
stock, vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cayenne, sesame oil, and black
bean sauce in large saucepan. Bring to boil; check seasonings. Drain
shitakes and "tree ears". Remove stems of shitakes and slice thinly. Add
shitakes, "tree ears", pork mixture, tofu, bamboo shoots and baby corn to
stock. Bring to boil. Add cornstarch dissolved in water. Stir while it
thickens. While soup is still very hot, drizzle lightly beaten eggs into
soup; let rest a moment before stirring so it cooks into wispy pieces.
Reduce heat to low; soup scorches easily. Serve garnished with chopped
green onions, and hot chili oil on the side for those who like it hotter.
knife cut each slice into four or so strips.
