Quick & Easy Egg Drop Soup Delight – A Simple, Flavorful Comfort Food!

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground ginger (if using). Stir occasionally to mix the flavors.
Thicken the Soup (Optional):

If you prefer a slightly thicker consistency, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture into the simmering broth while stirring to avoid clumping. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Create the Egg Ribbons:

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Once the broth is simmering gently, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream. Stir gently in a circular motion as you pour to create the signature “egg ribbons.” The eggs will cook instantly, forming silky threads in the soup.
Season and Simmer:

Add white pepper to taste and continue to simmer the soup for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the eggs are fully cooked and the soup is hot.
Garnish and Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh green onions and cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth and comfort of this simple yet delicious dish.
