Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups good-quality chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
  • ¼ cup green onions, sliced thin, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 cup whole-kernel corn or creamed corn, optional
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the stock, cornstarch, ginger and garlic powder together until combined before turning on the heat.
  • It’s essential that the broth is room temperature, otherwise the cornstarch will clump up and not dissolve.
  • Bring the stock to a simmer; stirring occasionally.
  • While this is heating, in a separate measuring cup or bowl, whisk together eggs.
  • Once your stock has come to a simmer, use a whisk or a fork to begin stirring the stock around and around to create a slow “whirlpool”.
  • Gradually drizzle in the eggs, as you continue to stir the stock, and they will turn into those magical little ribbons.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • Stir in the sesame oil, green onions and corn, if using, until combined.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed.
  • Garnished with extra green onions, if desired.
