Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup water
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, combine chicken broth and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add cooked white rice to the pot and stir. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to heat the rice and infuse the flavors.
While the soup is simmering, crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly until combined.
Add ginger, soy sauce, and salt to the simmering soup. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and, while gently stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the pot. The eggs will cook instantly, forming delicate ribbons.
Turn off the heat and stir in sesame oil for a touch of aromatic flavor.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the soup as a garnish before serving.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, making sure each serving has a good mix of rice, egg ribbons, and broth.
