- 1 L Chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)

Instructions
Prepare all ingredients: peel and devein the shrimp, slice the radish thinly, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper, and daikon radish. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this slurry into the soup to slightly thicken it.
Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the soup while continuously stirring to create silky egg ribbons.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce or vinegar as desired.
Turn off the heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
