Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
- While the broth is simmering, slowly drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the broth while stirring continuously to thicken the soup.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering soup in a thin stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create strands of egg. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of white pepper or ginger to the soup. Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste. You can also add other ingredients like shredded chicken or mushrooms for a more substantial soup.
