It a dutch oven or large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Stir in the sesame oil, salt, sugar, white pepper, ground turmeric and minced ginger.
Drop frozen pork wontons into the soup broth and let cook for 5-6 minutes.
Add the cornstarch and water "slurry" mixture. Stir the soup continuously with a ladle as you drizzle in the slurry, or you'll get unwanted clumps of cooked cornstarch in your soup broth.
The speed that you stir the soup when adding the egg determines whether you create large egg ribbons or smaller strands. Use a ladle to stir the soup in a circular motion, and slowly drizzle in the egg.
