Ingredients

4 servings
fresh ginger1 tbsp minced
garlic2 cloves minced
protein (optional)6 oz diced or shredded
eggs3 large
cornstarch slurry1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Method

1

Mince the ginger and garlic. Chop your protein and vegetable into bite-sized pieces. Beat the eggs in a small bowl until fully combined.

2

Bring 6 cups of broth to a rolling boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

3

Add minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well and simmer for 2 minutes to infuse flavors.

4

If using protein and vegetables, add them now and simmer until cooked through, about 3–5 minutes depending on your choices.

5

Optional: Whisk together cornstarch and water into a slurry. Stir into the simmering broth to thicken slightly.

6

Reduce heat to medium. While gently stirring the broth in a circular motion, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs from a measuring cup or fork, creating silky egg ribbons. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until egg strands are set.

7

Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while steaming.
