Then mix soy sauce, ginger, mushrooms, green onions and white pepper with the chicken stock. If you like to add any vegetables, then you can mix the pieces of vegetables as well. Boil the mixture and then keep the pan over low flame.
Combine the reserved stock solution with the corn starch and pour it to the pot, when the vegetables and mushrooms are cooked well.
