With the Lunar New Year right around the corner, I’ve been cooking more Chinese food.
Out of all the Chinese dishes out there, egg drop soup is probably the easiest one to make.
It’s basically just beaten eggs and chicken stock. You can add cornstarch to thicken it and some scallions for garnish. In just about 10 minutes, you can have a nice pot of homemade soup.
