Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2-3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 2- inch piece of fresh thinly sliced ginger
  • 3 large eggs Separate yolks if only using egg white
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce Optional
  • 3 tablespoons of Corn starch
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame oil optional

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat.
  • While the soup is coming to medium heat, simmer thinly slice the scallions and ginger
  • Gently Beat the 3 eggs in a separate bowl and set it aside
  • Mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to make a slurry. This slurry will help thicken the soup.
  • Add a tablespoon of the cornstarch mixture to the broth, and stir until the soup is slightly thick. During this step, season your broth to taste.
  • Gently add the beaten eggs in a circular motion into the broth; make sure the broth is not coming to a boil; this will ensure the egg stays soft.
  • Allow the eggs to cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until they form silky ribbons.
  • Lightly move the soup with a spoon to move the egg around
  • Serve soup in a bowl and garnish with scallions, ginger, and a drizzle of sesame oil, if desired.
  • Enjoy
