Chinese Egg Drop Soup with Shredded Chicken and Bok Choy

A refined version of the classic. The difficulty lies in creating the 'egg ribbons'—a technique requiring a specific pouring speed and water vortex.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chicken Stock
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast
  • 2 heads Baby Bok Choy
  • 0.5 tsp White Pepper
  • 0.25 tsp Xanthan Gum(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring stock to a simmer. Add white pepper and chopped bok choy. If using xanthan gum, whisk in a tiny amount to slightly thicken the base.

  2. 2

    Beat eggs thoroughly in a measuring cup with a spout.

  3. 3

    Create a gentle whirlpool in the stock with a spoon. Slowly drizzle the egg in a thin stream while stirring in one direction.

  4. 4

    Immediately remove from heat to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.

  5. 5

    Fold in shredded chicken and serve in warmed bowls.
