Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 bunch green onions white and light green parts divided
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms I use Cremini chopped fine
  • 1 inch fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 tsps sriracha sauce or Franks' Hot Sauce to taste
  • ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 6 cups beef broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian
  • 2 Tbsps cornstarch
  • 1 large egg whisked well

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven large enough to hold the final soup. Saute the onions and white parts of the green onions about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes until liquid starts to release.
  • Add the ginger, garlic and hot sauce. Cook 1 minute.
  • Add the vinegar and tamari and stir in. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes to mix flavours. Meanwhile shake the cornstarch and ⅓ cup of water in a small jar til well mixed and a small slurry is formed. Add slurry to the pot and simmer another 10 minutes til thickened, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the whisked egg. It will form stringy bits. Garnish with green onion bits and serve.
