  • spatula
  • Ladle
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoon
  • whisk
  • French knife

Ingredients

  • 5 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp White sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Ground White Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Ginger minced
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 1/3 cup water
  • 3 Eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup Scallions or Chives finely sliced
  • 10 oz Frozen Pork Wontons

Instructions

  • 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.
