Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup corn (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and ginger.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix cornstarch with water in a small bowl and stir it into the broth. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently in a circular motion. This creates delicate egg ribbons.
  • Stir in green onions and corn (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
  • Ladle into bowls and enjoy with extra green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil on top!
