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.
