4 c chicken stock
2 tb water chestnut flour mixed with 4 tb water (or cornstarch)
1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 ts oil
1/4 lb firm tofu, cut into strips 1/4 inch by 1 1/2 inches (optional)
1 green onion, trimmed and shredded

In 3 separate bowls, cover black mushrooms, lily buds and wood ears
with water until soft and pliable, about 30 minutes. Squeeze dry.
Remove and discard stems from black mushrooms; julienne. Remove
and discard hard ends of lily buds. Remove and discard any hard
clusters in centers of wood ears. Roll each wood ear into a tight
curl, cut cross-wise into thin strips. Set aside. Mix marinade
ingredients. Toss with the chicken strips and set aside.
Heat wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add oil and tilt wok to
coat sides. Add salt, ginger and chicken. Stir-fry for 1 minute
or until chicken turns white. Remove chicken and set aside.
Increase to high heat. Add black mushrooms, lily buds and wood ears
to hot oil. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add soy sauce
and Shao Hsing wine; stir-fry 5 seconds. Add stock and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Then bring back
to a boil. Add water chestnut flour mixture. Stir continuously
until thickened (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat.
Slowly pour egg into soup in a circular motion while stir- rings
slowly with chopsticks to from silk like ribbons. Add tofu and
chicken.
Put vinegar, soy, pepper, chili oil and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Stir once or twice; do not over mix. Pour half into a shallow soup
tureen. Ladle soup over sauce. Scatter green onions on top. Float
remaining Hot and Sour Seasoning on top of soup. Stir gently.
