Egg Flower Soup with Oyster Mushroom
Description
This soup is prepared by lightly sautéing fresh oyster mushrooms until just softened, releasing their mild earthiness. Water or stock is added along with ginger slices and brought to a boil before simmering a few minutes to infuse the flavors. Whisked egg is then poured in gradually while stirring to create delicate strands or flowers of cooked egg suspended in the broth.
A splash of sesame oil and a pinch of salt finish the seasoning, enhancing the layers of flavor without overpowering the lightness of the soup. Chopped green onions scattered on top add mild sharpness and color contrast. This soup serves well as a simple starter or a light, soothing dish on its own.
