Egg drop soup is one of Chinese cuisine's quickest soups, made by pouring beaten egg in a thin stream into simmering chicken stock so it forms silky ribbons. Lightly thickened with cornflour, the soup holds the egg ribbons together without them falling apart. With no dairy or nuts in the recipe, it's also a safe breakfast soup for children with allergies.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the stock

5 min

Bring the chicken stock to a simmer with the ginger and salt.

2

Thicken

2 min

Stir in the dissolved cornflour and keep simmering for 2 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.

3

Pour in the egg

2 min

Pour the beaten egg into the soup in a thin stream while gently stirring with a fork so it sets into ribbons.

4

Serve

1 min

Remove from the heat, scatter over the spring onion and serve hot.

Reminder

Stir gently with a fork while pouring in the egg; stirring too fast breaks up the ribbons and clouds the soup. Allergens: contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a teaspoon of sesame oil gives the soup the toasted aroma typical of Chinese restaurants; adding it right before serving makes the scent more pronounced.

Yumurtayı çok hızlı döktüm ve çatalla da hızlı karıştırdım, damlalar birbirine karışıp iyice bulanık bir görünüm bıraktı, ince ve yavaş bir akış gerçekten şart görünüyor.

Haklısınız, hız burada belirleyici. Yumurtayı ince bir iplik gibi dökmek ve çatalı yalnızca yönlendirmek için kullanmak, damlaların ayrı ayrı kalmasını sağlıyor.

Yumurtayı dökerken bir yandan çatalla karıştırmak yerine çırpma teli kullansam damlaların ipeksi şekli bozulur mu, yoksa daha ince şeritler mi elde ederim, gerçekten çok merak ediyorum.

Çırpma teli daha güçlü bir akım yaratır ve damlaları küçük parçalara böler; ince ama düzensiz şeritler elde edersiniz. İnce çatal ipeksi görünümü daha iyi korur.
