I spent several years honing my hot and sour soup recipe (i usually make it at least once a month). This recipe is pretty close to mine, and slightly more elaborate ... for example, I usually use some coarsely chopped mung bean sprouts (for crunch) if I dont have bamboo shoots or preserved veg (ex: baby corn) handy, and I usually like a little minced pork (for flavor and texture). From memory, your ingredients look pretty spot on, right down to the black vinegar (a must), snd the small touch of sugar to balance the salt, pepper and umami. However, the dish is all about balance, so I wont know for sure until I try it.

Hey Jeremy & colleagues - I'm thinking of making this for the first time but was thinking of either using shrimp instead of chicken, or using both in the soup. Doable?

I often make hot & sour soups. I add a quarter of a teaspoon of sesame oil to the eggs.

Jeremy, in my travels I have come across 2 versions of the hot and sour soup (from the North and the other from the South) one that uses chilies for the spice and the other uses pepper. If I am honest I prefer the pepper version and I always make it more sour with extra vinegar. However, I will try your version and see how I get on.

USA - it was being looked over by a guy from china that could barely speak english -- he was very peculiar about the hot and sour soup they made there - always checking on their work -- after he left to go to other restaurants - I think that was his job - the soup went downhill to the point of boxed stuff being used -- with MSG being used in it of all things - it was not anything like his soup - I would drive about 40 miles one way just to get soup and crab Rangoons - way better than the dozens and dozens of restaurants I have visited -- made my mouth water before and while eating - my favorite food it became -- nothing better to this day - sure do miss that particular taste -- toe curling taste it was -- yours looks like his -- unlike others somewhat -- where is it that I may get the ingrediencies without MSG in it to use -- even if i have to order from your country -- any suggestions ? ! ? - funny how yu make it look so easy -- ahahahaha -- I have eaten it at every place I go -- not the same --

White pepper in the website recipe but Jeremy seems to have forgotten it. I'd guess it probably best added when you take the soup off the heat

Did I miss something? No sugar? Also, I was taught to add the vinegar at the end, so the sourness does not get cooked down. It looks very good though. Never tried it with that preserved vegetable, gotta try that.

This recipe looks good. BUT there are a lot of bad recipes for this soup. All are loaded with ingredients. Trying a new recipe can turn out to be a long, expensive, failed experiment. I've tried a lot of bad recipes before I found a good one. The important part of this soup is getting the broth right. Suggestions.... 1. before adding all the ingredients, try making just the broth. Don't waste all the extra ingredients till you are sure the broth is good. This is only common sense. eg...when trying a new recipe for sweet and sour shrimp... first do a test batch of the sauce. Shrimp is too expensive to add to an experimental sauce. 2. for heat in hot and sour soup, use white pepper ( a chinese chef taught me this). It's a nice clean heat without all the weird flavours that other hot ingredients often have. Weird hot sauces and pastes often kill the overall flavour of the soup. 3. shredded black mushrooms.... buy them in a bag dehydrated and pre shredded. Just throw in a handful. Soaking and cutting mushrooms is a big waste of time and you can never cut them as well as the bagged ones. Not many Chinese restaurants waste time cutting those tough, slippery mushrooms.
