Simple Egg Drop Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • 1 pinch white pepper
Instructions
1
Combine egg and salt in a bowl and whisk until they form a smooth, cohesive mixture. In another container, blend the tapioca flour with cold water until it becomes fully incorporated and free of lumps.
2
Heat chicken broth, ginger, and garlic to a rolling boil, then take it off the heat source and stir in the tapioca starch until it dissolves. Continue to cook for about 1 minute, or until the soup has thickened and cleared up; remove from heat. Carefully pour a thin stream of egg into the soup, using a gentle stirring motion in a figure 8 pattern to avoid over-mixing. Sprinkle the soup with chopped onions, sesame oil, and white pepper before presenting it.
