HOT AND SOUR SOUP

Hot and Sour Soup image

I love this soup. Will have to find out what "cloud ears" are and where to find them. Other than the cloud ears, I know what everything is.I believe I need to cook a Chinese dinner. Alas I need to find out what about Golden needles. Will have to find an Asian grocery.
