Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
While the stock is heating, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them until smooth. Set aside.
Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper to the simmering stock and stir well.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring continuously, until it slightly thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the whisked eggs into the soup in a steady stream. Use a spoon or chopstick to gently stir the soup in a circular motion, creating delicate egg ribbons.
Let the soup simmer for another 1-2 minutes to fully cook the eggs.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sesame oil (if using) for an extra layer of flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with finely chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
