farah – the soup you are seeing in the picture has no egg in it. I did it because I thought it would make a better picture, you did nothing wrong.

I looove hot n sour soup, and this blog!

This is pretty close to what I make when I make hot and sour soup at home. With the international foods sections steadily popping up in more and more grocery stores, and they are getting better as well, finding the wood ears and being able to replace the white vinegar with rice vinegar

one thing I like to do with the pork is marinate it overnight, just a little chicken broth and soy sauce, helps give those strips of pork a little extra oomph

ginger is also a nice thing to add, but it’s a preference thing, Im not always in the mood for that change in flavor, powder or fresh minced ginger works fine, I generally say to flavor it to taste, since a little ginger can go a long way

love the site, especially love all the chinese food, keep it up!

bridge- thanks for the compliments. As you can see from the picture, I took the photo before I even put the eggs in. I would think the soup would taste fine without the eggs, or even like you said… just add 1.

This was a good recipe, great for beginners and shoppers who don’t feel like looking for tree mushrooms and such.

I thought the flavor was right on point, and it was exactly what I was tasting for.

It also looked great until I put the eggs in. Maybe my soup wasn’t hot enough or something, but after adding about 2 eggs the soup had taken on a yellowish color. I stopped adding the egg there. I would cut down the egg amount to 1 next time I make this.

Also sauteed the mushrooms before I added them to the soup, just to get that mildly acidic ‘tinny’ flavor out of them.

Good recipe, though. I like your blog a lot

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I appreciate your blog. I made your Orange Chicken recipe and it was a huge hit–delicious! Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good Hot & Sour soup recipe and was daunted by the very ingrediants you mentioned. I’m really looking forward to trying yours!

Thank you!
