Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups chicken broth (I like the Pacific and Imagine boxed varieties)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons cold water
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pre-cooked dumplings (see note)
  • Chopped scallions for garnish

Instruction

  • Put chicken broth, soy sauce and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Whisk in cornstarch mixture and stir until slightly thickened. Turn heat down to low.
  • Pour in beaten egg and whisk gently for about a minute…the egg will separate a little into strands as it cooks.  This is what we want!
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you have dumplings on hand, this is the time to add them in. Garnish with scallions. Serve at once.
