- 2 heads Baby Bok Choy
- 0.5 tsp White Pepper
- 0.25 tsp Xanthan Gum(optional)

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
Beat eggs thoroughly in a measuring cup with a spout.
- 3
Create a gentle whirlpool in the stock with a spoon. Slowly drizzle the egg in a thin stream while stirring in one direction.

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