Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 garlic clove minced
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ½ teaspoon Sichuan pepper
• 4 cups chicken broth
• Green onions to serve
• Cilantro to serve
• Chili oil to serve

Instructions

 

• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cornstarch.
  
  
• Heat a pot to medium and add the sesame oil. Once it’s hot, add the ginger, garlic and both peppers. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  
  
• Once the broth is bubbly, create a whirlpool stirring with two chopsticks in circular motion. Add the egg while continuously whisking with the chopsticks – at this point you can’t stop stirring, otherwise the egg will not cook in those characteristic thin strings.
• Serve in bowls with green onions, cilantro and chili oil.
