Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Adjust according to taste preferences for saltiness.)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated.)
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced (for garnish.)
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat broth: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Beat eggs: While the broth is heating, beat the two large eggs in a bowl until they are well mixed.
  3. Create slurry: In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the boiling broth, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly.
  4. Add flavorings: Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger to the broth, stirring to combine.
  5. Drizzle eggs: Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the boiling broth while stirring gently in a circular motion. This will create silky egg ribbons.
  6. Season: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into serving bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
  8. Optional additions: For added texture, you can incorporate cooked mushrooms or tofu into the soup.

Notes

  • Adjust soy sauce according to taste preferences for saltiness.
  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
  • Optional additions: cooked mushrooms or tofu for added texture.
