Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken or vegetable stock to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
While the stock is heating, crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk them until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Add the grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and white pepper to the simmering stock and stir well.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add this mixture to the soup, stirring continuously, until it slightly thickens.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the whisked eggs into the soup in a steady stream. Use a spoon or chopstick to gently stir the soup in a circular motion, creating delicate egg ribbons.
Step 6
Let the soup simmer for another 1-2 minutes to fully cook the eggs.
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sesame oil (if using) for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 8
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with finely chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
