Step-by-step instructions to cook

Prep

Coat the chicken slices with some sesame oil in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, stir together the cornstarch and vinegar. Set this mixture aside.

Beat an egg in bowl and set it aside.

Cooking

In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, water, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and red chili flakes.

Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer.

Increase the heat to medium-high bring, it back to a rolling boil, and add the chicken slices.

Return to a boil and then drizzle in the beaten egg while stirring slowly to create long strands of egg.

Stir in the vinegar and cornstarch mixture.

Simmer the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, and the broth has thickened slightly, which should take about 3 minutes.

Serve the soup garnished with chopped green onions and coriander leaves.
