Gather @vegetable stock{1.2%l}, @shiitake mushroom{100%g}, @wood ear mushroom{15%g}, @bamboo shoot{100%g}, @black vinegar{3%tbsp} and @spring onion{2}.

Soak the wood ear mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes, then slice into thin strips. ~{15%minutes}

Bring the stock to a simmer and add both mushrooms, the bamboo shoots and @tofu{200%g}. Simmer 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Season with @soy sauce{2%tbsp} and @salt{}, then stir in the @cornstarch{3%tbsp} slurry and simmer until the broth thickens to a light, spoon-coating body.

Turn the heat to low and pour the beaten @egg{2} in a thin stream while drawing a chopstick slowly through the soup in wide circles.

Take the pot off the heat and stir in the vinegar, @white pepper{1%tsp} and @sesame oil{1%tsp}.

Taste — it should make you blink from pepper first, then vinegar. Adjust, top with scallions and serve hot.
