3. Add the spring onion and continue to cook for a minute. Add the carrot, mushrooms and French beans and stir. Add the soy sauce, green chilli sauce, MSG, white pepper powder and salt. Mix well and stir in the chicken stock.
4. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for three to four minutes. Stir in the cornflour mixture and cook for a minute or until the soup thickens, stirring continuously. Stir in the whisked egg in a steady stream so that it forms into threads as it cooks.
5. Add the vinegar and serve piping hot, garnished with the reserved spring onion greens.
