Egg Drop

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Heat the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, sliced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Make the Wontons

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped shrimp, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined.

  2. 3

    Fill the Wontons

    Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges with water, fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle, and press to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, cornstarch, and water until smooth.

    Gently drop the filled wontons into the simmering broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
