Ingredients
  

  • For the Broth:
  • 6 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tsp sesame oil optional adds rich flavor
  • 1 tsp grated ginger fresh is best
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 green onions sliced for garnish
  • For the Dumplings:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/3 cup milk adjust if needed for texture
  • For the Egg Drop:
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten

Equipment

  • 1 Soup pot Medium to large size
  • 1 Whisk For beating eggs
  • 1 Mixing bowl For making dumplings
  • 1 Ladle For serving

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a soup pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Let it simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes so the flavors meld.
  2. Make the Dumplings: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the beaten egg and milk until a soft dough forms. Drop small spoonfuls (about 1 teaspoon each) into the simmering broth.
  3. Cook the Dumplings: Cover the pot and cook for 10–12 minutes. The dumplings should puff up and become firm when done.
  4. Add the Egg Drop: Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the hot broth in a thin stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopstick to create silky ribbons.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with sliced green onions and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • You can make the dumplings in advance and freeze them for quick use later.
  • Add vegetables like spinach, carrots, or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and tamari instead of soy sauce.
