Notes

If you want to add protein to your Hot and Sour Soup, all you have to do is -

Marinated ½ cup of thinly sliced pork or chicken with 1 tbsp of Soy Sauce and 1 tsp of Corn Starch for 10 minutes. Next, add the meat in and cook for 2-3 minutes before adding in the tofu; the pork should be cut into skinny slices to cook fast.
