- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks scallions (sliced thin)
- 0.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until completely dissolved to form a slurry.
Step 3
Slowly stir the cornstarch slurry into the boiling chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add soy sauce and ground ginger to the pot, stirring well to combine.
Step 5
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly using a fork or whisk.
Step 6
Increase the heat slightly and bring the soup to a gentle boil again. While stirring the soup in a circular motion, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs in a thin, steady stream to create delicate ribbons of egg in the soup.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and gently stir in the scallions and sesame oil.
Step 8
Taste the soup and season with salt and white pepper as needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
