Instructions

Prepare the tofu

Peel and trim the tender tofu, slice it into thin pieces, then chop it into small bits. Place in a bowl and blanch in hot water to remove the beany flavor.

Dice the supporting ingredients

Cut the shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, pine nuts, and cooked ham into small dice and set aside.

Cook the soup

Place a pot over the heat, pour in the stock, and add the diced shiitake, mushrooms, pine nuts, ham, chicken, and other ingredients. Stir constantly with a ladle and season to taste. When the mixture comes to a rolling boil, thicken with a cornstarch slurry, drizzle in a little oil, let it boil through, then remove from the heat.

Stir-fry the shrimp

Heat a separate pan with oil, briefly cook the shrimp in the hot oil, splash with cooking wine to season, then add the shrimp to the tofu soup. Serve immediately.
