Preparation

Step 1


DIRECTIONS

1. Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger, spinach, and garlic into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. Add pepper, and rice wine.

In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the eggs and yolk VERY lightly.

Remove the pot from the heat. Immediately drizzle the egg, a little at a time, through the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Stir the contents of the pot in a clock-wise direction, for one minute.

Stir in the cornstarch mixture, gradually, until the soup is the desired consistency.

Sprinkle with sliced green onions and add sesame oil, and serve
