The Easiest 5-Minute Scallion Egg Drop Soup Recipe – Perfect for Eating with Rice!
Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s incredibly simple yet always gets rave reviews for its deliciousness. This super easy recipe is a go-to for a comforting and flavorful meal.
Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 1/2 stalk of scallion (green onion)
- 3 concentrated broth cubes (e.g., anchovy or beef stock cubes)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, combine 1 liter (about 4 cups) of water and 3 concentrated broth cubes. Bring to a boil. Using broth cubes makes it easy to achieve a deep and clean soup base without the hassle of making stock from scratch.
Step 2
Thinly slice the scallion (green onion) into about 0.5 cm rounds. Wash it well before slicing. The fragrant aroma of the scallions will enhance the soup’s flavor.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack 3 fresh eggs. Remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits) if desired, and whisk them gently with a fork or whisk until just combined. Avoid over-whisking; you just want the yolks and whites to be evenly mixed.
Step 4
Once the water is boiling vigorously, slowly pour the whisked egg mixture into the pot in a circular motion. Reduce the heat to medium-low to allow the egg to cook into delicate, fluffy ribbons.
Step 5
Season the soup with 1 Tbsp of soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of fish sauce for a balanced, savory flavor. Add the sliced scallions and let it simmer for just another moment before turning off the heat. Be careful not to overcook the scallions, as they can become mushy and lose their vibrant color. Your warm and delicious egg drop soup is ready!
