Ingredients
· 6 cups unsalted chicken broth
· 3/4 tsp salt
· 1/8 tsp pepper
· 1 slice ginger root OR 1 tsp of minced ginger
· 2 Tbsp cornstarch
· 2 Tbsp cold water (see notes)
· 3 eggs, beaten until frothy
· 1 tsp sesame oil (see notes)
· 1 scallion, minced or sliced thinly
Directions
1. Bring the broth to a boil, then add salt, pepper, and ginger root.
2. Combine cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the broth. Boil for 1 minute.
3. Slowly stir the beaten egg into the broth and remove it from the heat at once.
4. Top with sesame oil and minced scallion. Serve
Notes
· If you use reduced-sodium broth, reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp. If you use salted broth, taste it when done to see if any salt is needed.
· Beth has halved the recipe and has also filled 5 small mason jars to use for meal prep for part of her lunch.
· If you want to make more or less of this, I recommend using 1 egg for every 2 cups of broth and adjusting all the other ingredients accordingly.
· You always want to mix cornstarch into a COLD liquid before adding it into hot liquid or it will create clumps.
· You could drop this to 0 bites/points if you opt to omit the sesame oil.
