Main Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 1/4 stalk of green onion (adjust to your preference)
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp tuna extract (or soy sauce/fish sauce)
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 Tbsp tuna extract (or soy sauce/fish sauce)
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the eggs. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and whisk gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined. It’s important to whisk them smoothly without creating too much foam. Whisking too vigorously can create excess bubbles.
Step 2
Next, prepare the green onion. Wash the white and green parts of the green onion thoroughly. Finely chop them into about 0.5 cm thick pieces. Using a generous amount will enhance the refreshing flavor of the soup. You can also slice them diagonally if you prefer.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to make the broth. Pour 600ml of water into a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling rapidly, add 2 tablespoons of tuna extract to deepen the broth’s flavor. If you don’t have tuna extract, soy sauce or store-bought anchovy sauce can be used as substitutes. Taste and add a little more salt if needed.
Step 4
Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. First, add the chopped green onions and let them simmer for a moment to release their aroma. Then, slowly drizzle the beaten egg mixture into the pot, pouring it in a circular motion around the edges. Drizzling from the sides in a circular pattern will help create beautiful wisps of egg.
Step 5
After adding the egg, let it set for about 1 minute until it starts to cook. Gently swirl with chopsticks or a spoon without breaking up the egg too much. Once the egg is softly set into wispy clouds, turn off the heat and let it simmer for another moment. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs can become tough.
Step 6
Your delicious egg drop soup is now ready! Carefully ladle the warm soup into a serving bowl. Enjoy it as a satisfying meal with rice, or simply savor it whenever you crave a warm, comforting soup.
