Shrimp Egg Drop Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Put chicken stock, water, garlic, cilantro, ginger, peppercorns and (if you are using) dried shrimp or scallops in a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Let cook for 20 minutes.
• Strain broth into another pot, taste and adjust salt. Bring back to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with Shaoxing wine or sherry. Whisk eggs with remaining teaspoon cornstarch.
• Whisk wine-cornstarch mixture into soup until combined. With the soup on a low simmer, stir once with a spoon to make a slight current. Pour in the egg-cornstarch mixture, through the tines of a fork, letting it form ribbons. Allow 10 seconds to set, then stir gently to break them up as you like.
• Top thickly with scallions and ground pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger and 1/2 cup water; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine broth and remaining 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer; add noodles. Cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
• Add broccoli and carrot; simmer 3-4 minutes longer or until noodles are tender.
• Drizzle beaten egg into hot soup, stirring constantly. Stir in cornstarch mixture and add to the pan then bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Add shrimp and heat through.
