Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 package ramen noodles (instant, without seasoning packet)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- to taste salt
- to taste white pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat.
While waiting for the broth to boil, whisk the eggs in a small bowl until well beaten.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth to create a slurry.
Once the broth is boiling, add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper to taste.
Give the broth a gentle stir to create a slow whirlpool, then slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the pot in a thin, steady stream. The eggs will set instantly and form silky ribbons.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soup and let it simmer for an additional minute to slightly thicken the broth.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy hot!
