Egg drop soup recipe with chicken and egg white



This is a recipe for a egg drop soup using egg white only.

It is also a thickened soup.

There is something about thickened soup that pleases the palate. In many soup recipes, soup is thickened with cream, milk and even potatoes. Here, only a little cornstarch mixture is used.

It is a simple recipe with no frills and even less fat. It should be done under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 chicken breast
2 egg white
950ml soup stock
A small amount of chinese parsley or coriander
2 tablespoon of cornstarch mixture
White pepper and sesame seed oil to taste

Marinate for the chicken breast

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cooking wine (optional)

Directions
  1. Wash the chicken breast, remove the skin and cut into thin strips

  2. Add the marinate to the chicken strips. Mix well

  3. Bring soup stock to a boil, add chicken strips. Stir the cornstarch mixture into soup

  4. Let soup come to a boil. Remove from heat and drizzle the egg white into soup, stirring the soup gently in one direction
