Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil and green onion. Bring to a boil. Stir together the cornstarch and water; pour into the boiling broth and stir until the broth has thickened slightly.
Step 2
Continue to stir gently while you pour in the egg. (Be sure the egg is beaten well. Start stirring the broth and get it "swirling" in one direction. Use a fork and continue stirring in that same direction while you add the egg) Add salt and pepper to taste; garnish with reserved green onion tops.
