Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth – I swear by the boxed stuff low-sodium if you can but homemade is even better
- 2 large eggs beaten – fresh eggs make those gorgeous silky ribbons
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water – our secret thickener
- 1/2 teaspoon salt – adjust to taste but don’t skimp!
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper – trust me it’s milder than black pepper and way more authentic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil – that nutty finish makes all the difference
- 1 green onion chopped – for that fresh pop of color and flavor
Instructions
- Pour chicken broth into a medium pot and heat over medium until hot and bubbles form.
- Mix cornstarch and water until smooth then whisk into the hot broth to thicken slightly.
- Beat eggs until combined then stir broth to create a whirlpool and slowly drizzle in eggs while stirring to form silky ribbons.
- Turn off the heat, then stir in salt white pepper and sesame oil.
- Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.
