Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 3 cans, or about 5 ¼ cups, good quality chicken broth
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• 2 heaping TBS cornstarch
• 4 eggs
• Sesame oil for drizzling
• Salt, to taste
• Sliced green onion and freshly ground black pepper for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, ground ginger, garlic powder, and cornstarch until fully combined. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. While the broth comes to a boil, whisk the eggs in a measuring cup (or other easy pour container).
3. Once the broth is boiling, remove from heat and begin stirring the broth in a circular motion while slowly drizzling in the eggs. The eggs will instantly cook as it hits the boiling liquid.
4. Drizzle in a little sesame oil for extra taste (I use about ½ tsp but you can use as much or as little as you prefer). Add salt, tasting until desired flavor is reached.
5. Serve topped with sliced green onion and a sprinkle of black pepper.
