Simple Dinner

Egg Drop Soup
Pork Potstickers

Egg Drop Soup
4 cup good quality chicken broth or seasoned stock
1" piece of fresh ginger, peeled OR 1-2 tsp grated ginger in a tube 

• Simmer till flavors are developed

3 tbsp cornstarch

• Remove knob of ginger if used.  Mix cornstarch with small amount of water and thicken broth. 

2 eggs, beaten

1 tsp cornstarch mixed with just enough water to remove clumping, not too much.

• Mix eggs and cornstarch together thoroughly.  
• Turn off heat on broth, let simmer die down and slowly swirl in egg mixture through the tines of a fork.  

2 scallions, minced including green tops

• garnish with scallions

Rafe said this was the best egg drop soup he's ever had and he normally doesn't like it.  Must use a good quality stock or broth to begin with or you are doomed.

Pork Sandwich

• 2 halves of "everything" bagel, toasted
• horseradish sauce (mayo and horseradish)
• 4-6 thin slices of bacon wrapped, apple wood smoked pork loin
• 1 thick slice red onion, charred/caramelized in hot skillet (tender but still firm)
• 1 slice Swiss cheese

Layer everything in that order on one slice of toasted bagel; broil briefly to melt swiss cheese and top with remaining slice of toasted bagel.
