Prepare the main ingredients
Wash the hair vegetable, soak it in warm water for 2 minutes, and drain well; cut the chicken breast into thin shreds.
Make the egg yolk shreds
Add water to a wok and bring to a boil. Poke a small hole in an egg yolk with a needle, gently squeeze it into the boiling water, and once it forms thin shreds, remove and drain.
Blanch the chicken shreds
Add the chicken shreds to the pot, separate them with bamboo chopsticks, and remove immediately once they are just cooked.
Assemble the soup
Arrange the hair vegetable, egg yolk shreds, and chicken breast shreds in three separate piles inside a large soup bowl. Add the clear broth to a pot and bring to a boil, skim off the foam, then add the mushroom broth, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine, and adjust the seasoning. Pour the seasoned broth over the three shreds in the bowl and serve.
