Egg Drop Soup

written by Emma Tang

egg drop soupToday I am going to share with you how to make a tasty egg drop soup with oyster mushrooms.

Let me start by introducing the ingredients. I had one cup worth of oyster mushrooms (available in most Asian markets or online such as Fresh Direct), two eggs, two cups chicken stock, a handful chopped scallion, half teaspoon grated ginger and one tablespoon potato starch mixed with water to serve as thickener for the soup.

First, I added the mushrooms, ginger and scallions all to a pot, then I poured in the chicken stock, and seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper.

Once the stock starts to boil, I reduced the heat to simmer and slowly poured in the eggs while stirring the soup.

The egg will quickly spread out into ribbons, and once it’s set, I added the starch water and keep simmering for another one to two minutes to thicken the soup.
