Ingredients
  

  • 4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the simmering broth to thicken it slightly.
  • Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the saucepan while stirring the soup in a circular motion. The eggs will cook immediately, creating delicate egg ribbons.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, and season the soup with salt and white pepper to taste. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
