Essential Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 liter (approx. 4 cups) water

- 1 green onion

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables. Slice the green onion diagonally into thin pieces; this shape is visually appealing and provides a nice texture when cooked. Thinly slice the half onion into strips to allow its sweetness to infuse the broth well. These prepared vegetables form the base flavor of the soup.
Step 2
Next, crack the 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Use chopsticks or a whisk to gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Avoid whisking too vigorously; this will help the cooked egg float beautifully like flower petals in the soup.
Step 3
Now, prepare your pot. Pour in 1 liter of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low. With the heat lowered, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot, drizzling them in a circular motion around the edges. Pouring slowly, rather than all at once, helps the egg form delicate, fluffy ribbons.
Step 4
As the egg begins to gently cook and form soft curds, add the sliced onion and diagonally cut green onion to the pot. Stir in the 1/2 tablespoon of salted shrimp for an added layer of umami. Simmer for another moment. Finally, season with a pinch of salt to your liking, adjusting the overall taste. Your delicious egg drop soup is now ready! Perfect for enjoying with a bowl of rice.
