Ingredients
- 1 batch (8 oz / 225 g) spinach , chopped into large bite-size pieces
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 lices ginger
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 3 large eggs , beaten (Footnote 1 and 2)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion , sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a few drops of vegetable oil (Optional, for a better color). Add the spinach. Blanch for 1 minute or so, until the spinach turns al dente. Drain thoroughly. Quickly rinse the spinach with cold water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.
- Add the chicken broth and ginger into a medium-sized pot. Cook over medium-high heat until brought to a boil.
- While the broth is cooking, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to mix well.
- When the broth is boiling, turn to medium-low heat and let the soup reduce to a simmer. Sprinkle with the white pepper. Stir to mix well. Stir the slurry again to dissolve the cornstarch. Swirl it into the soup and mix well with a spatula. The soup will thicken up quickly.
- To add the eggs, hold a fork (or two chopsticks slightly apart) across the edge of the egg bowl, and drizzle the egg mixture slowly into the soup. Let the eggs set for a few seconds, then stir gently to break up the egg into small pieces.
- Add back the cooked spinach. Drizzle sesame oil and add the green onion to garnish.
Notes
- For a better and smoother texture, you can run the beaten eggs through a sieve to filter out the thicker bits. This is optional.
- It’s much easier to pour the eggs if you put the mixture into a bowl or cup with a spout. But if you don’t have that, you can follow the instructions in the recipe to create the thin stream when adding the eggs.
