For Chris Netter and anyone else interested in Hot and Sour Soup.
This recipe is from Stella Chang, and was prepared and served by
our Gourmet Group. I can vouch for it (delicious)!

Hot and Sour Soup:

1. 1/2 cup pork (cut into thin strips and mix with 1 Tbsp soy sauce
          and 2 tsp cornstarch)
2. 1/2 cup woodear strips (soak in hot water to soften, then cut)
3. 1 Tofu (cut into thin strips)
4. 4 Black mushrooms (soak in hot water to soften, then cut in strips)
5. 1/2 cup thin strips of ham
6. 1/2 cup bamboo shoots (cut into thin strips)
7. 1 large can College Inn chicken broth
8. 6 Tbsp cornstarch and 6 Tbsp water mixed well
9. 1 egg, beaten
    / 2 Tbsp soy sauce
    | 4 Tbsp vinegar
    | 1 Tbsp sesame oil
10.<  1 tsp fresh ground pepper
    | 1 green onion (chopped)
    \ 1 Tbsp shredded ginger

Steps:
1. Boil chicken broth, add items 2 to 6. When it returns to boil, add
   pork strips (cook for 2 minutes, stir).
2. Add 8 to thicken.
3. Before serving, add egg (slowly pour in and keep on stirring the
   soup at the same time). Add 10, stir and serve.

Enjoy!!
