Ingredients
- 20 grams dried bird's nest
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 200 grams boneless chicken breast
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 inch ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by soaking the dried bird's nest in a bowl of warm water for about 6-8 hours or until completely rehydrated and soft.
Step 2
Once rehydrated, thoroughly rinse and clean the bird's nest under running water to remove any impurities. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large pot, combine chicken broth and 3 cups of water; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Meanwhile, shred the boneless chicken breast into fine pieces and set aside.
Step 5
Peel the ginger and slice it into thin strips.
Step 6
Add the rehydrated bird's nest, ginger slices, and shredded chicken breast to the boiling broth.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
While the soup is simmering, beat the egg whites until frothy and set aside.
Step 9
After 20 minutes of simmering, slowly pour in the beaten egg whites while gently stirring the soup in one direction to create egg ribbons.
Step 10
Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
Step 11
Increase the heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the egg whites are fully cooked.
Step 12
Remove the soup from heat and drizzle with sesame oil.
Step 13
Serve hot, garnished with finely chopped green onions.
