Then I learned about it carefully, and then I realized that Xihu beef soup is a traditional Jiangnan dish. This dish is mellow and smooth, delicious and delicious. It is generally used as a soup for throat and appetizer. Some people say that because this soup is made of starch and egg white, it resembles ripples in a lake, so it is named "West Lake".

Tips:
To be honest, I don’t like the taste of fresh shiitake mushrooms. The strange thing is that I like the taste of dried shiitake mushroom stew. But this soup is filled with fresh mushrooms, even though it tastes great, I drank two bowls of this hot. In fact, we don't like some vegetables, but the taste of cooking by another method may not be unacceptable, so occasionally try a different cooking method, and the prepared dishes will have a different taste and surprise. This West Lake Beef Soup is recommended to everyone and I hope you like it. It can be used as an appetizing soup for banquet guests.
