Chutney soup is something we often order when we eat in restaurants, as if each province has its own version of the chutney soup, which shows that it is very popular. There are so many delicious things in the soup, the hearty, spicy, sour broth includes shiitake mushrooms, fungus, silky eggs and tofu and so on. It has a rich and thick taste, but it really has very little oil and low fat, and it can be used as a main course for a light dinner. Did you know that a super delicious restaurant-style sour and spicy soup is really easy to make? Although the text part seems to be more numerous, the soup base only needs a few ingredients: black vinegar, white pepper, water and cornstarch. Its sour taste comes from vinegar. The spiciness comes from white pepper. No need for chili pepper or chili oil! Shiitake mushrooms, fungus, these most common ingredients give it the best taste. If you use dried shiitake mushrooms to work better, they have a strong smoky and woody flavor, which is very suitable for making soup bases. You can also replace pork with chicken or shrimp, or add sausages or ham to speed things up. It is important to add vinegar and white pepper after turning off the heat. Otherwise, the sour aroma of vinegar will disappear with evaporation, and white pepper will not only greatly reduce the aroma, but also release a bitter taste. :-D

<h2>Practice steps</h2>
1. After roughly rinsing, dry fungus foams, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. After softening, cut off the hard roots of the fungus and cut into small pieces. *There will be toxins in the fungus soaking for too long, and the soaking time should not be too long. *If you are using dried shiitake mushrooms, keep the water in which the shiitake mushrooms are soaked.
2: Wash and dry the pork tenderloin or chicken breast, cut into strips (or cut).
3: Add cooking wine, salt, corn starch, black pepper, grasp and marinate evenly, let stand for 10-15 minutes.
4: Add 2 tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp white pepper to a small bowl and stir until the white pepper is completely dissolved.
5: Beat the eggs in another small bowl.
6, other ingredients are also prepared, shiitake mushroom slices, if it is dried shiitake mushrooms, rinse clean and foam, keep the water of the shiitake mushrooms. In fact, I have always felt that dried shiitake mushrooms have a stronger flavor than fresh shiitake mushrooms, with a special smoky and woody taste.
7: Place 3 cups (720ml) of water or chicken broth, ginger and green onion in a pot and heat over medium heat until you are about to boil. Add the fungus, shiitake mushrooms and tofu.
8: Reduce heat to medium-low heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
9: Add shredded pork and spread with chopsticks to prevent stickiness.
10: Add soy sauce and turn the heat up.
11: Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of water in a bowl and stir until starch dissolves. Slowly pour the starchy water into the soup in circles and stir until the soup thickens.
12: Add salt. Whisk the egg mixture again and slowly pour into the pan to allow the egg flowers to spread out without clotting. Turn off the heat and add the vinegar and pepper and stir well.
13. (Optional) Drizzle with sesame oil, stir and taste, according to your own taste to decide whether you need to add salt. Garnish with green onions or coriander leaves.
