Like a hug in a bowl, ready in 15 minutes.

15 minServes 2By Yuna Seo
You'll need
  • 750 ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • A few drops of sesame oil
  • Pinch of white pepper
Method
  1. Bring the stock and soy to a simmer.
  2. Stir in the cornflour mix and simmer for a minute until slightly thickened.
  3. Stir the soup in a slow circle and drizzle the beaten egg in a thin stream to make silky ribbons.
  4. Turn off the heat. Add the spring onion, sesame oil and white pepper.
Well-made tip: pour the egg slowly and keep stirring gently. That's the secret to fine, silky ribbons.
