Start with 1/2 pound of flank steak and mince it up really small.

Marinate the minced beef with 1 teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt, 1/4 cup of fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and ground white pepper. Set aside.

In a pot, bring 6 cups of bone broth to a boil.

Add 1/4 cup of sliced shiitake mushrooms (rehydrated) to the boiling broth.

Prepare a slurry with arrowroot powder and water to thicken the soup later.

Add the marinated beef to the boiling broth and stir with a spatula to break it up.

Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, which should be quick since it's minced.

Chop about 1 cup of cilantro and set aside for garnish.

Stir the arrowroot slurry into the soup while it is bubbling to thicken it.

Turn off the heat and add 2 whole eggs, stirring gently to incorporate them into the soup.

Add chopped cilantro and 3 chopped scallions just before serving.
