This recipe really is simple. It's light tasing and delightful to boot.
I do not add any salt to this recipe for two reasons.
1. I use salted broth anyway so I don't feel the need.
2. Adding salt when using cornstarch can result in the dish actually NOT thickening up properly. Especially if the salt is added after the cornstarch.

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 4 cupschicken broth or stock
  2. 2-3 tbscornstarch (based on how thick you like it)
  3. 1/2 tspground ginger
  4. 1/4 tspground turmeric
  5. 1/4 tspgarlic powder
  6. 3eggs
  7. 2green onions - sliced on a bias (optional)
  8. 1 tspSesame oil (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium sauce pan wisk together chicken broth, cornstarch, ginger, and turmeric. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Stirring frequently. While broth is heating up, wisk eggs together in a separate bowl. Set aside.

  2. 2

    When broth simmers reduce heat to medium low. Slowly begin stirring in a circular motion. As you stir, slowly drizzle in beaten eggs to form into "ribbons". If using green onions, stir in two thirds of the slices immediately after eggs.

  3. 3

    Turn heat to low and let soup sit 2 minutes. Drizzle in sesame oil if using and stir to combine. Dish up and garnish with remaining green onions to serve.

  4. 4

    Note: For thinner egg ribbons continue stirring with the wisk when adding eggs. For thicker ribbons switch to a wooden spoon.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
