What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Color of Food: Egg Drop Soup! Treat yourself to a Chinese favorite. Using only a few items, you can prepare a festive bowl of chicken broth flavored with green onion, plus a hint of ginger spice. Check out the silky ribbons of beaten eggs and curly wonton strips. Isn’t it pretty? You can do this.
EGG DROP SOUP
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons corn starch
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups chicken broth
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed (optional)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions
Fried wonton strips for garnish
Instructions:
In a 2-quart pan, combine corn starch, ground ginger, white pepper, and sea salt. Slowly pour chicken broth into the pan, stirring constantly to dissolve lumps. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. After two minutes, reduce heat to simmer. When the broth has thickened, place a whisk over the pan. Slowly pour beaten egg mixture over the whisk, swirling in a clockwise motion to create silky ribbons. Add sautéed mushrooms. Heat through. Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with droplets of sesame oil. Sprinkle green onion snips over soup. Garnish with fried wonton strips.
It looks delicious
