Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cremini or shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 3 green onions
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Start by heating up your broth to a simmer. While it's heating up, add in the minced garlic clove, ginger, sliced mushrooms, the whites of the green onions, and sesame oil.
  • Mix cornstarch with a little cold water to create a slurry. Once the soup comes to a slow boil, pour that combined slurry mixture into the boiling stock to thicken it. Allow it to cook for 1 minute and then reduce to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl (a pyrex measuring cup with a small spout works well), lightly beat your eggs. Gently and slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering stock, watching the egg set into ribbons. Use a spoon or chopsticks to keep the broth gently moving while you pour in the eggs. 
  • Stir in peas and remove from heat.
  • Add salt to taste and serve with the green parts of the green onions as garnish.
