This is one of the most popular Chinese Soups and it's EXTREMELY EASY to make.

1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 scallions (chopped, including ends)
salt
white pepper
wide and crisp chinese noodles (optional)
Directions:
1. Bring the 4 cups of chicken stock, grated ginger, sesame oil& soy sauce to a boil.
2. In a small cup, make a slurry by combining the cornstarch& 2 tablespoons of chicken stock.
3. Stir until dissolved.
4. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the stock& stir until thickened.
5. Reduce heat to a simmer.
6. Pour in the eggs slowly while continuously stirring the soup in the same direction with either a fork or a single chopstick.
7. The egg will spread& feather.
8. Turn off the heat& add the scallions.
