Chinese Egg Drop Soup

Dan Hua Tang - 蛋花湯

Recipe Ingredients:

• 5 cups chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Chinese Sherry
• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons with water
• 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, finely grated over a microplane
• 1 garlic clove, finely grated over a microplane
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Recipe Steps:

• In a large sauce pan, bring the chicken stock, soy sauce, Sherry, ginger and garlic to a rolling boil.
• Add cornstarch and cook through for 2-3 minutes. This will thicken the soup
• Stirring gently, pour in the egg in a slow, steady stream. Slowly swirl the soup mixture with a chopstick.
• Lower the heat to low, until the egg strands are cooked through (usually about one minute). You may need to add seasoning like more soy sauce or salt to taste.
• When you are ready to serve, ladle soup into soup bowls and sprinkle green onion on top for garnish.

Serving Size: 4-5
