Ingredients

3Dried wood ears

These are a dried mushroom you find in a chinese supply store along with the tiger lily buds...

20Dried tiger lily buds

3cHot water

¼lb.Pork butt

MARINADE:

½tsRice wine or dry sherry

½tsCornstarch1tsSesame oil

1tsSalt2oz.Fresh mushrooms, sliced

¼cShredded bamboo shoots

3" square bean curd, sliced

2tbWorcestershire sauce

2tsWhite vinegar and adjust (U always add more)

5tbCornstarch

5tbWater1

Egg, beaten

½tsBlack pepper

(I add a few shakes of crushed red pepper flakes)

½tsWhite pepper

1tbSesame oil6

½cChicken broth or stock

¼cWater chestnuts

Directions

Soak wood ears and lily buds in 3 cups hot water 15 minutes to soften.

Remove stems from softened wood ears.

Shred wood ears with a cleaver.

Slice pork into thin strips.

Use a cleaver to chop strips into shreds.

Combine marinade ingredients in a small bowl.

Add pork shreds; mix well.

Let stand 15 minutes.

Combine chicken broth and salt in a medium saucepan.

Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium.

Add mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, wood ears and lily buds to broth.

Simmer 3 to 4 minutes.

Add pork shreds with marinade and bean curd.

Bring to a boil.

Add worcestershire sauce and vinegar, if desired.

I did not think the worchestershire belonged so I used soy sauce..

Dissolve cornstarch in 5 tablespoons water to make a paste.

Slowly stir into soup.

Cook over medium heat until soup thickens slightly.

Stir egg into soup.

Add black pepper, white pepper and sesame oil.

This make an incrediable soup... Better than the take out or restaurants... Try it..

Enjoy

This is on the agenda for lunch tomorrow. Nasty cold rain and thunderstorms all weekend (and a tailgating party Sunday, ho boy). Will be using shitakes for the wood ears (they taste about the same and have the same texture). Will be hitting one of our asian stores for the tiger lily buds (and how many did I pass on just on the property this summer??).
Will let you know how it turns out.

Linebb, you came up with another winner - that sounds incredible. It's rainy and crappy here, too, so this sounds so warm and comforting!!
