In a deep bowl, start by combining the mushrooms with hot water and let them hydrate for 20 minutes. In another deep bowl, mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Remove the mushrooms from the water and slice them into strips. In a pot over medium heat, cook the chicken broth, mushrooms, and the water in which the mushrooms were hydrated. Allow it to boil, cover, and cook for 3 more minutes. Add 3 more tablespoons of cornstarch to the soup and allow it to continue cooking over medium heat until it thickens slightly. Add the tofu and egg and continue cooking, using a spoon or a whisk to beat the soup while it cooks. Remove from heat and garnish with scallions. Serve.
