INSTRUCTIONS
BASIC STOCK
Bring stock to a full boil in a deep pot. Be sure to have all ingredients
ready in order to proceed quickly. Add the remaining ingredients except
the dissolved cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the shrimp turn pink.
Stir in the dissolved cornstarch, swirling with a large spoon until the
soup thickens evenly. Serve at once.
NOTE: When cooking seafood in a soup, always add a little more salt than
sugar. To vary the flavor and texture, swirl one or two beaten egg whites
into the broth after adding the dissolved corn starch. The egg white will
congeal immediately. May serve with Chinese noodles. BASIC STOCK: Place the
chicken and pork in a large kettle or stock pot. Cover with the hot water
and bring to a boil. Skim all foam and solids that appear ont he surface
of the liquid in the pot. When liquid is clear, reduce heat and simmer at
least 3 hours. Remove all fat that appears on the top of the liquid.
