  • 1 large tomato cut into small chunks
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the tomato chunks and stir-fry until they soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, ground white pepper, and salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  3. Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry until the soup slightly thickens. Create a gentle whirlpool with a spoon and slowly drizzle in the beaten egg to form fine ribbons.
  4. Turn off the heat and ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with the finely chopped scallion and serve hot.
