*The classic egg drop soup. Tastes pretty similar to the store, and super easy to make!*
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 4 cups chicken stock
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
|
|
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
|
|
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
|
|
- 1/8 teaspoon while pepper
|
|
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
|
|
- 1/3 cup water (to mix with cornstarch)
|
|
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
|
|
- 1 scallion
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon shaoxing cooking wine (optional)
|
|
- 1/4 teaspoon msg (optional)
|
|
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Bring the **chicken stock** to a simmer in a pot.
|
|
2. Stir in **sesame oil**, **salt**, **sugar**, **white pepper**. Adjust to taste at this point.
|
|
3. If using, also stir in the **msg**, **cooking wine**, and **turmeric**.
|
|
4. Mix the **cornstarch** and **water** together to make a slurry.
|
|
5. Before the solution settles, stir the soup continuously and drizzle in the **slurry** until the soup is the desired thickness.
|
|
6. Lightly beat the **egg** so that the egg and yolk don't completely mix together.
|
|
7. Stir with a ladle and slowly drizzle in the egg, making ribbons in the soup.
|
|
8. Top with **scallions** and extra **white pepper** if desired.
|
|
Stir SLOWLY when adding in the egg for the best results. Stirring quickly yields a pretty homogenous result.
|
|
Also give the cooking wine addition a try (thanks, mom)

## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Eyeball It
|
|
- It's pretty good regardless of the exact ratios. Also I'm a fan of excess pepper when sick.

|
|
|
### Ribbons
|
|
- Stir SLOWLY when adding in the egg for the best results. Stirring quickly yields a pretty homogenous result.
