Egg Drop Soup

 Do you love the Egg Drop soup in Chinese restaurants?  This is a good recipe that is easy to adapt to make it taste the way you like.  

Egg Drop Soup

1 box chicken stock

1/2 tsp sesame oil

1 T salt

1/2 tsp. turmeric

1/2 tsp sugar

2 T. soy sauce

1/2 tsp. ginger

3 T. Corn starch

1/3 cup water

3 eggs, beaten

Chopped green onions for serving

In a pot, bring the chicken stock to simmer.  Stir in the oil, salt, turmeric, sugar, soy sauce, and ginger.  Whisk together the cornstarch and water and add to the pot.  Stir and cook and simmer for several minutes.  Taste.  Add more salt, soy sauce, ginger, and/or sugar as needed for your taste.  When it tastes right, add the eggs: stirring slowly for big pieces of egg, faster if you want smaller.  Stir in a circular motion and cook for about a minute.  Serve with green onion on top.

I serve it with potstickers.
