Method

  1. 1

    Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large pan.

  2. 2

    Add the pork and mushrooms and simmer for 4 minutes, until the pork is cooked through with no pink remaining.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rice vinegar, light soy sauce and white pepper.

  4. 4

    Mix the cornflour with 2 tablespoons of cold water, stir into the soup and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Beat the egg and drizzle it slowly into the simmering soup in a thin stream, stirring gently so it forms soft ribbons.

  6. 6

    Ladle into bowls and scatter with the spring onions to serve.
