    This Cookbook is the most frustrating Cookbook I have ever purchased. These extremely hard to find ingredients need to be imported, and sold on ATK's website. I don't trust Amazon to buy food products. So what am I supposed to do?! I'll make a list of all the ingredients we can not find and I'll list them all here. Right now, the most frustrating thing is the Flounder powder, and the dired scallops.

    I could eat this soup every day, IF made properly. It is always on a "chinese buffet" and terrible. This is a very easy recipe, but caution, go to an Asian market to get the ingredients at 20% of the price of the specialty section of your grocery. Can somebody help me? I had it a couple of times with a thing that looked like a slimy black flower or mushroom, what was that? I am a chef and cook all the french stuff, this is different. Never saw the cornstarch added to the egg but great idea. I drizzeled the egg to simmering soup, and one stir with one chop stick, it worked. This is more foolproof. Don't think they mentioned not to forget the green onion and the fried wonton noodles on top. Golly, thanks, you guys made my day! The very best soup in the WORLD.

    That black flower of mushroom is the wood ear fungus that Mr. Pang showed as an alternative to the shiitake. My mother's recipe includes wood ear along with shiitake (dried is fine, if you can't find fresh). Just be sure to soak the wood ear before adding it to the soup. (Speaking of flower, some people also add dried lily buds. These are brown an usually tied into a knot before adding to the soup.)

    My favorite Chinese restaurant just closed due to retirement. Black Pearl in Shoreline, Washington. Best hot and sour soup. Have never eaten any other soup that matches it. They included tiny shredded pork and some black seaweed kind of stuff. Gonna miss that version of soup so much. But this recipe and steps give me hope to try and make my own. Thanks to the chef and tiny dragon. Whoops, dancing lion.

    For years I only ate wonton soup..then one day in my 40s I suddenly made a switch and tried my husband's hot and sour soup. What a revelation! I used to go by a certain Chinese restaurant just for a quart of their hot and sour soup. Sadly, for some reason several years ago they took it off the menu! So, I have tried several recipes and other restaurants but haven't found my new favorite yet. I hope this is it!

    I go with dried mushrooms, both shiitake and wood ear (Chinese black fungus). Rinse them first quickly and then soak them, add some dried chilies to the soak if you like spice. Instead of using just plain water, use the water from your soak! That water is pure gold! I add konbu as well just to bump up the complexity of flavours. Definitely try to use white pepper. White vinegar is a decent substitute for black vinegar in a pinch, but black vinegar is a whole new level. I add it closer to the end so the flavour doesn't cook off. A great garnish is cilantro or chadon beni.

    We had been going to a Seattle restaurant since the mid 1970's that served excellent Sizzling Rice Soup. The restaurant was started by a first generation (legal) immigrant family, and the restaurant had passed through a couple of family generations. I moved out of the city in the early 1990's and happily drove over an hour to get the soup. Sadly, they were recently forced to close due to street crime and the homeless invasion.

    I judge a Chinese restaurant's quality by their Hot & Sour Soup. It's not a terribly complicated dish, but it REALLY shows how much the chef actually cares about their work because when it's sloppily done, it shows. However, when done well, it's transcendent.

    My favorite Chinese soup. I used to make a simplified version of this that only had chicken broth, corn starch, white pepper (lots for heat), vinegar, re-hydrated shitake mushrooms since I couldn't get fresh, tofu (like yours), pork, and bamboo shoots. I cut everything into matchstick size. No egg or soy sauce etc since I was a bit poor at the time and had limited space in my tiny apartment fridge. But it was close enough to what I'd had at a local restaurant to make me happy. I'm sure your soup is better. I could get about 4 meals out of it.
