H & S is my personal way to rate Chinese restaurants. If they get the
soup right chances are the rest of the menu will be up to snuff. If the
soup is bland and insipid so will be the rest of the food.

 FOR THE PORK: Combine the soy sauce, brandy, and

 FOR THE SOUP: Whisk together stock, soy sauce, vinegar,
 cornstarch, pepper, salt, cayenne, and 1/4 cup water in
 a 4-qt. saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high
 heat. Add pork, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook,
 stirring occasionally, until soup thickens, about 30
 minutes. Add tofu, potatoes, and mushrooms, and cook
 until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

 Without stirring, slowly drizzle egg into simmering soup
 in a thin, steady stream. When egg strands float to
 surface, stir in oil. Ladle soup into serving bowls and
 garnish with cila
