Egg Ribbon Soup Recipes

EASY EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Bring chicken stock to a boil. While waiting, whisk eggs, and mix cornstarch with water in a separate bowl.
• Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling stock. Stir for about a minute to allow the cornstarch to thicken the stock. Lower heat to a simmer, or small bubble.
• Pour the eggs into a thin stream into the hot stock, while stirring the stock in a circular motion with the other. Proceed slowly, pouring the eggs in the thinnest stream possible. A spouted container helps.
• Season the soup with salt and mushroom seasoning, and serve hot.

EGG RIBBON SOUP WITH SHRIMP AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add shrimp to soup and bring back to a boil. Add spinach and bring back to a simmer.
• Pour beaten eggs into soup in a steady stream; eggs will curdle into ribbon shaped strands. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove saucepan from heat. Immediately ladle into soup bowls and drizzle a few drops of sesame or chili oil or chili paste into your soup. Add drops of lime juice if you wish.

EGG RIBBON AND PARMESAN SOUP

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese in small bowl to blend. Bring chicken broth to simmer in large pot. Add pasta. Cover and simmer until pasta is tender, about 6 minutes. Gradually add egg mixture to soup, stirring constantly until egg ribbons form, about 1 minute. Simmer 1 minute longer. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve, passing remaining cheese separately.

EGG DROP SOUP (BETTER THAN RESTAURANT QUALITY!)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Stir together the cornstarch and water to dissolve cornstarch; pour into the boiling broth. Stir gently while you pour in the egg and yellow food coloring if using. Season with chives, salt and pepper before serving.

RESTAURANT STYLE EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork. Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately. Once the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.
