Instructions
- Bring the broth to a simmer over low medium heat. Very slowly stream in the egg, use a fork to pull strands of the egg gently. Add toasted sesame oil to the broth.
- Do not stir vigorously; you will have a mess if you do. Add white pepper and salt. Continue to cook until egg is done. Serve promptly.
Notes
- The temperature matters: The broth should be at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, when adding the eggs.
- Drizzle slowly: Pour the beaten eggs in a thin, steady stream while stirring for the most delicate ribbons.
- Don't overstir: Stirring too vigorously after adding the eggs will break the ribbons into tiny pieces rather than elegant strands.
- Season carefully: Both sesame oil and white pepper are potent—start with small amounts and adjust to taste.
- Serve immediately: The texture is best when freshly made.
