ONE-EGG EGG DROP SOUP



One-Egg Egg Drop Soup image

Trust me, one egg is enough to make a sumptuous Egg Drop Soup! The problem I find with egg drop soup recipes is that the timing for the egg drop is never right, so the egg never separates into true ribbons. My Chinese father taught me the trick to this soup, which I now pass to you!

EGG DROP SOUP



Egg Drop Soup image

This soup is very easy to make and very delicious. It is in fact so easy to make that it really is the sort of thing you can summon the will to cook even when you arrive home from work hungry. I originally made it out of nostalgia for a soup I had in college that endows its eater with good soup manners. I think it would work just as nicely with beef broth.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup water
1 clove garlic, sliced
12 sprigs cilantro
1 3-to-4-inch piece of ginger, sliced
20 or so peppercorns
1 pinch dried shrimp or scallops (optional)
Salt
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 eggs
4 scallion stalks, white and light green parts, sliced thinly on a bias
Freshly ground white or black pepper

Steps:

  • Put chicken stock, water, garlic, cilantro, ginger, peppercorns and (if you are using) dried shrimp or scallops in a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Let cook for 20 minutes.
  • Strain broth into another pot, taste and adjust salt. Bring back to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with Shaoxing wine or sherry. Whisk eggs with remaining teaspoon cornstarch.
  • Whisk wine-cornstarch mixture into soup until combined. With the soup on a low simmer, stir once with a spoon to make a slight current. Pour in the egg-cornstarch mixture, through the tines of a fork, letting it form ribbons. Allow 10 seconds to set, then stir gently to break them up as you like.
  • Top thickly with scallions and ground pepper, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, vegetables, and herbs will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through but still tender. If you overcook them, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Add the eggs slowly: This will help prevent them from curdling.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the soup hot: Egg drop soup is best served hot, so make sure to eat it as soon as it's done.

Conclusion:

Egg drop soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give egg drop soup a try!
