Egg Drop Soup

Cooking Steps

1. 1

   Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a medium soup pot. Stir in the sesame oil, salt, sugar, white pepper, and MSG (if using). Add in the turmeric or 5 drops of yellow food coloring, if using. Taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning if needed.

2. 2

   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 to avoid clumps.

3. 3

   Now we're ready for the egg. Stir the soup in a circular motion and slowly drizzle in the egg until fully added.

4. 4

   Ladle the soup into bowls, top with scallions, and serve!
