Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Begin by soaking the black mushrooms until they are soft.
   • Once softened, remove the stalks and wash them thoroughly.
   • Dice the bamboo shoots, carrots, chicken, and shrimp into small, bite-sized pieces.

2. Prep Chicken and Shrimp:

   • Mix 1 teaspoon of cornflour thoroughly with the diced chicken and shrimp.
   • Reserve the remaining cornflour to make a corn-starch solution later.

3. Heat Stock:

   • In a wok or large pot, heat the chicken stock over medium heat until it starts to simmer.

4. Cook Chicken and Shrimp:

   • Carefully add the prepared chicken and shrimp to the simmering stock.
   • Allow them to cook until they are tender and fully cooked through.

5. Add Vegetables and Bamboo Shoots:

   • Once the chicken and shrimp are cooked, bring the stock to a boil.
   • Add the diced vegetables, bamboo shoots, and soaked black mushrooms to the boiling stock in the order listed in the ingredients.

6. Season and Thicken:

   • As the soup comes to a boil, add in the dark soy sauce, salt, ajinomoto, sugar, and black pepper to taste.
   • Stir continuously as you slowly incorporate the corn-starch solution to thicken the soup to your desired consistency.

7. Finish with Eggs:

   • Once the soup has thickened, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly.
   • Gradually pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring continuously.
   • Allow the eggs to float to the top of the soup.

8. Serve:

   • Once the eggs are cooked and floating on top of the soup, remove the pot from the heat.
   • Garnish the Lung Fung Soup with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
   • Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious Chinese dish!
