Ingredients:

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric 
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch mixed into a slurry with 1/3 cup water
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 scallion, minced

Method

  1. Place the broth, sesame oil, sugar, salt, white pepper and turmeric into a medium soup pot and bring to a simmer. 
  2. Once the broth is simmering, stir in the cornstarch/water mixture and stir continuously as you drizzle in the cornstarch slurry. 
  3. Next, stir in the beaten eggs and swirl in a circular motion. I use a pair of chopsticks for this. 
  4. Ladle the egg drop soup into serving bowls and top with minced scallion.
