Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt - adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional for color)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil optional
- 1 talk green onion chopped finely
Instructions
- Bring chicken stock to a rolling boil in a pot over high heat.
- In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and turmeric in ¼ cup water. Set aside.
- In a bowl or beaker or measuring cup (with handle for easier pouring), beat the eggs using a fork or whisk. Set aside.
- Once the chicken stock is boiling, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the stock while stirring continuously in a circular manner. (Remember to stir the slurry before adding it as the cornstarch would have settled at the bottom). Once it has slightly thickened, lower the heat to medium.
- While simmering, slowly stir the broth, using a whisk or spoon, in a circular motion to create a whirlpool. Then gently pour the beaten eggs over the soup while stirring until ‘egg ribbons or flowers’ are formed.
- Turn off the heat. Add sesame oil and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve in bowls and top with chopped green onions.
