Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Fresh grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 Green onions (sliced thinly)
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for flavor)
Instructions
In a medium pot, bring the low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a smooth slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering broth to slightly thicken it.
Add the grated ginger and soy sauce to the broth. Stir gently and let the flavors meld for 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until combined.
Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the simmering broth in a thin stream while gently stirring the soup in one direction with a fork or chopsticks. This creates the signature egg ribbons.
Season the soup with white pepper and adjust the salt level if necessary. Add the sesame oil (if using) for a touch of nutty aroma.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, low-fat egg drop soup!
