Hot and sour soup is a popular Chinese soup known for its contrasting flavors of spiciness and tanginess. Key components include a broth made from chicken or pork, mushrooms (such as wood ear or shiitake), tofu, bamboo shoots, and sometimes pork or chicken. The soup is flavored with ingredients like white pepper, vinegar, soy sauce, and often thickened with cornstarch. Its balance of heat and acidity makes it a favorite appetizer in Chinese cuisine.
