Ingredients
Chicken Broth 4 cups
Cornstarch 1 tbsp
Eggs 3
Salt ¼ tsp
Sesame Oil ½ tsp
Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
Instructions
  1. Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until completely smooth. This is your thickener.
  3. Add soy sauce and a pinch of salt to the broth. Taste and adjust.
  4. While stirring the broth in a slow circular motion with a spoon, slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture. The soup will thicken slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer (not a full boil).
  6. Whisk eggs and sesame oil together in a small bowl.
  7. While stirring the soup in a slow circle, slowly drizzle the egg mixture in a thin stream. The curds will cook almost instantly into delicate ribbons.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with sliced green onion if available.
