Serves 8-10 bowls
Ingredients:
1 can of crab meat 16 oz
1 bunch of white asparagus
1 can quail eggs
2 cartons of chicken broth (32 oz each)
5 tbsp cornstarch
egg whites from 5 eggs
white pepper
2.5 oz dried white fungus (snow fungus)
1 tbsp fish sauce
3 tbsp chicken bouillon
1 shallot thinly sliced
cilantro to garnish
6 cups of water
Instructions:
1. In a pot, pour in 6 cups of water and 2 cartons of chicken broth. Bring it to a boil.
2. While your broth is heating up you can start preparing all the other ingredients. Start by soaking the white fungus in water for 15 minutes.
3. Peel the top layer of skin off the bottom third of the asparagus then chop into small pieces. If you are using the canned or jarred asparagus you do not need to peel the skin off.
4. Separate the egg whites and yolk from 5 eggs. I only like to use the egg whites but you can use the yolk too if you want.
5. Prepare your cornstarch slurry by mixing water and 5 tbsp of cornstarch.
6.Once broth is boiling you can add in the chopped asparagus. I add these in first because they take longer to cook. If using the canned or jarred asparagus you don't need extra time to cook them as they are already soft.
7. Once you've soaked your white fungus for 15 minutes, use a pair of scissors to cut and remove the center part that's hard. Then cut the fungus into small pieces.
8. In a pan, heat some veggie oil and cook shallot slices until fragrant. Then add in crab meat, season with black pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes.
9. Now add in the quail eggs, white fungus and crab meat into the broth. Bring it to a boil.
10. Once boiling slowly pour in the egg whites while stirring the pot to create the egg ribbons.
11. Slowly pour in your cornstarch slurry while stirring the pot to prevent clumping.
12. Now season to taste and add chicken bouillon and fish sauce as needed. I added 3 tbsp of chicken bouillon and 1 tbsp of fish sauce.
13. You can also adjust the consistency of the soup too. Add less cornstarch slurry if you like it looser or add more if you want a thicker consistency.
14. Serve and garnish with some white pepper and fresh cilantro.
