Sweet And Sour Egg Drop Soup Food

EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a medium soup pot. Stir in the sesame oil, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Add in the turmeric or 5 drops of yellow food coloring, if using. This will give the soup that rich restaurant-style yellow color, but it is optional. Taste the soup, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Next add the cornstarch and water mixture. Make sure the cornstarch and water is mixed well, as the cornstarch settles very quickly. Stir the soup continuously as you drizzle in the slurry, or you'll get clumps of cooked starch in your soup. Use more or less starch if you like a thicker or thinner soup. You can also add the starch in a couple small batches, let the soup simmer for a couple of minutes, then check to see if the consistency is to your liking.
• Now we're ready for the most exciting part: the egg. This recipe calls for the egg to be lightly beaten, which results in both white and yellow egg swirls. The speed at which you stir the soup when adding the egg also determines whether you get large "egg flowers" or small egg flowers (i.e. swirly bits of egg). Use a ladle to stir the soup in a circular motion, and slowly drizzle in the egg until you have added it all.
• Ladle the soup into bowls, top with scallions, and serve!

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.

EASY RESTAURANT STYLE EGG DROP SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Take ¾ cup of the chicken broth and combine with the cornstarch in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
• 2. In a large saucepan, bring remaining chicken broth, rice wine, ground ginger, white pepper and sugar to a boil on medium to high heat.
• 3. Simmer for 7 minutes.
• 4. Add scallions, if desired, and let simmer for 4 minutes to soften. You may also add other vegetables of your choice at this time. If you would like you may warm individual servings of these vegetables (In my family one member doesn't like mushrooms, so I only add those to the bowls of the ones who do...) Return to simmer.
• 5. Take ½ cup of the hot soup and add to the cornstarch mixture, stir until smooth.
• 6. Add soup/cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir to let soup thicken, about 2 minutes.
• 7. Using a fork, slowly drizzle beaten eggs into the simmering soup. Do not stir and allow to sit until eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
• 8. Stir, serve and enjoy! If desired serve with crispy chow mein noodles on top.
