"The trick to getting nicely formed egg "shreds" in the soup is to stir RAPIDLY in only ONE direction using a fork when adding the eggs to the hot broth. A warming and nourishing light meal served with egg roll."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil and green onion. Bring to a boil. Stir together the cornstarch and water; pour into the boiling broth and stir until the broth has thickened slightly.

Step 2

Continue to stir gently while you pour in the egg. (Be sure the egg is beaten well. Start stirring the broth and get it "swirling" in one direction. Use a fork and continue stirring in that same direction while you add the egg) Add salt and pepper to taste; garnish with reserved green onion tops.

This soup was a nice change from what we are used to having, we found we did not care for the texture, but that could be my fault as I was unable to get a nice swirl with the egg, so that the egg had a kind of curdled look and texture, i am sure caused by my inexperience making egg drop soup. The flavour was subtle but the green onions added a nice light onion essence.
