Fill a large pot with 2 quarts of water, and add chicken, onions, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a boil and then cover and cook on low heat for one hour. Remove the chicken and the bones from the broth. Add water chestnuts, both types of mushrooms, tofu, and green onions as well as soy sauce and vinegar. Cover and simmer for another hour. As the soup is simmering, take the chicken off the bones and shred, then add back to the soup. Beat egg whites in a bowl, and while stirring the soup, slowly pour them in. Drop in coriander and salt to taste. Cook for another 15 minutes. Again, while stirring, pour in cornstarch mixture to thicken.
