Broth

Egg Mixture

Garnish

Method

Preparing the Broth

  1. 1

    Heat the Broth

    In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

  2. 2

    Add Ginger and Soy Sauce

    Stir in the grated ginger and soy sauce into the simmering broth, allowing it to flavor the broth for about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Thicken the Broth

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Preparing the Egg Mixture

  1. 4

    Beat the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Season the Egg Mixture

    Add the chopped green onions, salt, and white pepper to the beaten eggs, mixing well.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Add Egg Mixture to Broth

    Once the broth is thickened, reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the broth in a thin stream while stirring the broth gently. This will create beautiful egg ribbons in the soup.

  2. 7

    Finish the Soup

    After adding the eggs, remove the soup from the heat. Drizzle the sesame oil over the soup and stir gently.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional sliced green onions. Serve hot.
