20 Minute Egg Drop Chili Food

20-MINUTE EGG-DROP CHILI

Steps:

• Heat a saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Add oil to cover the bottom of the pan scantily.
• Sauté garlic and onions in hot oil until they begin to be done; onions should be becoming clear and soft (about 5 minutes).
• Add can of beans and its liquid, can of tomatoes and its liquid, and spices. Stir.
• Cover and heat through until not quite boiling.
• While heating, break the eggs into a bowl and, with a fork, break the yolks and lightly beat until the yolks and eggs are thoroughly mixed. The eggs should be just slightly frothy.
• When chili is hot, remove from heat and reduce the heat to low. While off the heat, slowly pour in eggs, stirring as you pour. (Get a good centrifugal motion going before you add the eggs to get this step right.) Egg should cook instantly, giving the soup a creamy look and texture.
• Return to low heat and heat through, perhaps another 2-3 minutes.
• Serve topped with any or all garnishes you choose. Or without, your choice.

EGG DROP SOUP (BETTER THAN RESTAURANT QUALITY!)

Steps:

Stir gently while you pour in the egg and yellow food coloring if using. Season with chives, salt and pepper before serving.

VEGETARIAN SKILLET CHILI WITH EGGS AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• In a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan and turns the color of rust, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and both cans of beans with their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, smashing the beans lightly and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt.
• Reduce the heat to low. If your chili is thick enough, make four divots evenly spaced in the chili and crack an egg into each divot. (If the chili is not thick enough to hold the divots, don't worry, just crack the eggs on top.) Using a fork or spoon, gently cover the whites with chili. (This helps the whites cook faster and more evenly). Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the chili with Cheddar. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas alongside.

EASY EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat chicken broth and green onions in a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup of cold water in a bowl until smooth. Reduce heat and stir soy sauce mixture in to the broth. Boil soup on high for 1 minute, then reduce heat to medium-low.
• Beat 3 eggs with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Using a fork, stir egg mixture in to soup and cook until eggs are opaque, about 2 minutes.

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.
