Hi I this is how I make it at home.
You will need,
6 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup small spinach leaves
4 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, wiped clean, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Pinch finely ground white pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer. Add 6 tablespoons of the green onions, the spinach, mushrooms, soy and white pepper. Return to a bare simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Stirring with a fork or chopstick, gradually add the eggs in a slow steady stream. Cook until the eggs are set, stirring to create shreds or ribbons of the eggs, 1 minute.
Remove from the heat. Ladle into bowls, garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of green onions, and serve immediately.
Happy cooking!!
This is the easiest way I've found to make it.
Get a can of chicken stock, open it up, heat it in a pot on the stove. Crack and egg or two into a bowl, stir them up so that the egg white and the yolk are thoroughly mixed. Salt the egg and add pepper. Then, take a spoon and add drops of egg to the boiling chicken stock.
This is a simple and delicious way to make it. Enjoy!
