The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 3 3.5-ounce packages fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
  • 7 cups chicken stock
  • 1 8-ounce can sliced bamboo shoots, drained and cut into slivers
  • 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 8-ounce package firm tofu, drained and cubed
  • 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
  • 1 green onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 12-ounce package won ton wrappers, cut into strips

Instruction

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Working in batches, add won ton strips to the Dutch oven and fry until evenly golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; set aside.
  • Heat canola oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Stir in garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in mushrooms until wilted, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken stock, bamboo shoots, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors have blended, about 10 minutes. Stir in tofu.
  • Stir in cornstarch mixture, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Gradually add egg in a slow steady stream, stirring with a fork. Cook until the eggs are set, stirring frequently to create ribbons, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in green onion and sesame oil.
  • Serve immediately with won ton strips.
