Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water cold
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions sliced, for garnish

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • fork or chopsticks

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. While the broth is heating, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
  2. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth while stirring continuously. Continue to stir until the soup thickens slightly.
  3. Gently pour the beaten eggs into the thickened soup in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly with a fork or chopsticks to create delicate egg ribbons. Once all the egg is added, stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil.
  4. Serve the egg drop soup hot, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ginger or garlic powder to the broth. Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste. This soup is best enjoyed immediately.
