Restaurant Quality Egg Drop Soup!
Egg drop soup is a favorite of mine. As a result of being able to enjoy egg drop soup at many different Chinese restaurants, I decided to make my own recipe for it at home. The key to making this dish is the use of sesame oil! As much as I enjoy it, I hope you will as well.
Egg Drop soup is a Chinese soup that is made with beaten eggs. These eggs are cooked in a clear broth, which is usually accompanied by other ingredients like green onions, ginger, and in some cases cornstarch to thicken the broth. A simple dish that is light and comforting, this dish is often served as a starter or as a simple lunch or dinner option depending on the mood.
