Directions
-
white part only - (reserve tops for garnish) Egg Drop Soup is traditionally Chinese.
-
Tomatoes are not.
-
They were introduced less than 100 years ago, but nevertheless, they work wonderfully in this soup.
-
PUT THE CHICKEN STOCK into a pot and bring to a simmer.
-
If using fresh tomatoes, peel, seed and cut into 1-inch cubes.
-
If using canned tomatoes, chop them into small chunks.
-
Lightly beat the eggs, then combine them with sesame oil in a small bowl.
-
Add the light soy sauce and salt to the simmering stock, and stir to mix them in well.
-
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Next, stir in the scallions, and then add the egg mixture in a very slow, thin stream.
-
Using a chopstick or fork, pull the egg slowly into strands.
-
(Stirring the egg in a "figure 8" works well.) Garnish with the finely chopped scallion tops
