Panda Express Copycat Hot and Sour Soup image

This is a clear broth soup flavored with vinegar, white pepper, chili garlic sauce and sesame oil. It contains button mushrooms, sliced tofu and diced green onions. Make sure to use white ground pepper and the sesame oil. Black pepper doesn't give the same taste. Those are the "secret ingredients" that give the soup the unique taste.

This soup was very bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

The recipe was missing some important ingredients. I had to go to the store to buy them before I could make the soup.

This soup was way too spicy for me. I could barely eat it. I would recommend using less chili paste if you don't like spicy food.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The soup was bland and the flavors were not well-balanced.

I made this soup with tofu instead of chicken, and it was still delicious. I also added a few extra vegetables to make it even healthier.

I love spicy food, so I added a little extra chili paste to the soup. It was the perfect amount of heat for me. The soup was also very flavorful and satisfying.

I've tried many copycat Panda Express recipes, but this one is by far the best. The hot and sour soup was just like the one I get at the restaurant. I highly recommend this recipe.
