For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Low-sodium store-bought broth is a good substitute. Ensure the cornstarch slurry is completely smooth before adding it to the broth to avoid lumps. Drizzling the egg slowly is crucial for creating delicate, wispy egg ribbons. Practice makes perfect! Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sugar to your liking. Taste and season accordingly. This soup is best served immediately. Reheating may affect the texture of the eggs.

01 Step
Recipe View In a large pot, gently heat the chicken broth over medium-high heat. Add most of the sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup cold water, cornstarch, soy sauce, and sugar until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Gradually whisk this slurry into the simmering broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the soup to thicken slightly. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View In a small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold water until just combined. Using a fork or chopsticks, slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the hot broth in a thin, steady stream. As the egg ribbons form, gently stir the soup to distribute them evenly. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Remove the pot from the heat immediately. Garnish with the reserved green onions and a dash of white pepper. For an extra layer of flavor, add a few drops of sesame oil just before serving. Serve hot and enjoy! (1 minute)
