Here's what you need:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/4 cup diced tofu, 1/4 cup corn kernels
- Prepare the Broth: In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat. If you're adding any extra ingredients like mushrooms or tofu, now's the time to toss them in.
- Season the Broth: Once the broth is simmering, add soy sauce and sesame oil. Give it a good stir to ensure the flavors are well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Create Egg Ribbons: While stirring the broth in a circular motion with one hand, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot with the other hand. This will create those beautiful egg ribbons that give the soup its signature look. Keep stirring gently until the eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top of the soup. The heat from the broth will slightly cook the onions, releasing their aroma. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot! Enjoy!
