Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 10 ounces tomatoes (1 large or 2 small, cut into small chunks)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 cups water (or more chicken stock)
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- salt (to taste)
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons/30ml water)
- 1 scallion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a soup pot or wok over medium low heat. Add the tomato chunks and stir-fry for 5 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and start to fall apart.
- Add in 1 cup chicken stock, 2 cups water, 2 teaspoons light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, and then lower the heat so that the soup is simmering with the lid on.
- Now quickly beat the egg in a small bowl and prepare the cornstarch slurry in a separate bowl.
- Use a ladle to slowly swirl the soup in a whirlpool motion. Keep swirling as you pour in the cornstarch slurry until well incorporated. Now pour a thin stream of egg into the middle of the whirlpool as you slowly swirl the soup. This is how you get that pretty egg drop effect.
- Serve hot or at room temperature. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro, if using.
