After many many trips to different Chinese restaurants looking for a good bowl of egg drop soup, I decided to take it upon myself to create what I feel is the ultimate in egg drop soup. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (Optional)
- 2 teaspoons water (Optional)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 drop yellow food coloring (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- ⅛ teaspoon salt (Optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (Optional)
Directions
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Stir together the cornstarch and water to dissolve cornstarch; pour into the boiling broth. Stir gently while you pour in the egg and yellow food coloring if using. Season with chives, salt and pepper before serving.
