Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Broth:
    • In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
    • Add soy sauce (if using), sesame oil, and white pepper to enhance the flavor. Adjust salt as needed.
  2. Optional Thickening:
    • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
    • Slowly stir the slurry into the boiling broth, cooking until slightly thickened.
  3. Prepare the Eggs:
    • Beat the eggs in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. Create Egg Ribbons:
    • Reduce the heat to low, ensuring the broth is just below a boil.
    • Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the hot broth in a thin stream while stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks. This creates the signature silky egg ribbons.

  5. Serve:
    • Remove the soup from heat immediately after adding the eggs.
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped scallions or cilantro.

Tips:

  • Stirring in one direction while drizzling the eggs helps create long, delicate ribbons.
  • You can customize the soup with additions like tofu, sweet corn, or cooked shredded chicken.
