Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Add-Ins

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 block firm tofu, cubed
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper, red pepper flakes, sliced mushrooms, and cubed tofu into the crockpot. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook the Soup: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the soup mixture for 4 hours. This slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and the ingredients to become tender.
  3. Incorporate the Egg: After cooking, slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the hot soup while stirring gently. This technique creates beautiful silky egg ribbons throughout the soup, enhancing its texture and flavor.
