Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 package ramen noodles (instant, without seasoning packet)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste white pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
While waiting for the broth to boil, whisk the eggs in a small bowl until well beaten.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water together until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 4
Once the broth is boiling, add the ramen noodles to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper to taste.
Step 6
Give the broth a gentle stir to create a slow whirlpool, then slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the pot in a thin, steady stream. The eggs will set instantly and form silky ribbons.
Step 7
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the soup and let it simmer for an additional minute to slightly thicken the broth.
Step 8
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Enjoy hot!
