Steps:
- Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a medium soup pot. Stir in the sesame oil, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Add in the turmeric or 5 drops of yellow food coloring, if using. This will give the soup that rich restaurant-style yellow color, but it is optional. Taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Next add the cornstarch and water mixture. Make sure the cornstarch and water is mixed well, as the cornstarch settles very quickly. Stir the soup continuously as you drizzle in the slurry, or you'll get clumps of cooked starch in your soup. Use more or less starch if you like a thicker or thinner soup. You can also add the starch in a couple small batches, let the soup simmer for a couple of minutes, then check to see if the consistency is to your liking.
- Now we're ready for the most exciting part: the egg. This recipe calls for the egg to be lightly beaten, which results in both white and yellow egg swirls. The speed at which you stir the soup when adding the egg also determines whether you get large "egg flowers" or small egg flowers (i.e. swirly bits of egg). Use a ladle to stir the soup in a circular motion, and slowly drizzle in the egg until you have added it all.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, top with scallions, and serve!

Tips:
- Choose fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will produce fluffier and tastier egg flowers.
- Use cold eggs: Cold eggs will help the egg whites whip up more easily.
- Whip the egg whites gradually: Start on low speed and gradually increase the speed as the egg whites begin to foam.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form: The egg whites are ready when they hold stiff peaks when the whisk is lifted out of the bowl.
- Fold in the egg yolks and sugar gently: Use a spatula to gently fold in the egg yolks and sugar until just combined. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites.
- Cook the egg flowers over low heat: Low heat will help the egg flowers cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Serve the egg flowers immediately: Egg flowers are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Egg flowers are a delicious and easy-to-make Chinese soup. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a beautiful and flavorful dish that your family and friends will love.
