    Keep the pot at medium heat until it is boiling, then slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring to mix evenly. Stop pouring the slurry once the soup in the pot becomes slightly thickened. (You don't need to use all of the cornstarch slurry; stop when the soup reaches a slightly thickened consistency.)

    Add a spoon of ground pepper, a spoon of light soy sauce, a spoon of vinegar, half a spoon of dark soy sauce, and a spoon of salt and mix well (dark soy sauce can give the hot and sour soup color and enhance the salty taste, so you need to control the amount of salt after adding dark soy sauce).

    The spiciness of hot and sour soup comes from pepper powder; those who like it spicy can add more pepper powder.
