ingredients

¹⁄₂ ounce dried white fungus or 1/2 ounce tree ear mushroom
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 large shallot, sliced thin
1 pinch white pepper
1 hot chili pepper, seeded and sliced thinly
¹⁄₄ lb medium shrimp, peeled deveined
¹⁄₄ lb cooked crabmeat
3 cups chicken stock, see note
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 egg white, lightly whisked
salt
white pepper
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chop extra fine, garnish (optional)
hot chili-garlic sauce, garnish (optional)

directions

Notes:Reconstitute the fungus or tree ears in hot water for about 10 minutes. You want them soft and expanded. Chop coarsely. If you are using the fungus do so after cutting away hard knobs. Note the colors won't be the same but tree ear mushrooms work. Use vietnamese chicken stock, or regular chicken stock simmered with a 1-inch piece ginger that has been crushed with a blow. Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp water.
Heat oil over med high then saute shallot and white pepper for a minute before stirring in the shrimp. Cook for another minute flip halfway thru.
Add stock then add crab and fungus or mushrooms. Simmer and thicken with cornstarch stir constantly.
When cooked pour egg whites in slow steady stream. Stir slowly. You want ribbons like egg drop soup. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper if needed then place in serving bowls. Garnish with cilantro if using. Put the garlic hot sauce on the side.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
