A refined Chinese-style egg soup made by thickening chicken stock with a starch slurry and gently streaming in egg whites for a silky texture.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Add the starch slurry before the eggs to thicken the broth first; this prevents the eggs from clumping and keeps them soft and fluffy.
  • If you cook the egg whites too long after adding them, they will become tough. Turning off the heat after about 5 seconds is the secret to a moist texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a light, fluffy soup that's easy on the stomach for breakfast or a late-night snack.
  • Those who want to use up leftover egg whites from baking or making jeon.
  • Those who want to easily make a Chinese restaurant-style silky egg soup at home.
