Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced
Garnish (Optional)
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • medium pot
  • small bowls
  • whisk
  • fork or chopsticks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In another small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Cooking
  1. Slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
  2. While stirring continuously, slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs from a fork or chopsticks into the simmering broth to create delicate strands. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions.

Notes

Adjust soy sauce and sesame oil to taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of white pepper or red pepper flakes. You can also add cooked shredded chicken for a heartier soup.
