while this soup will leave your system about as fast as water, the egg helps make it stick and the green onion adds flavor that you'll taste for hours afterward.
ingredients I'm charging you for:
2 chicken bouillon cubes (23.9¢)
1 egg (16.6¢)
1 scallion/green onion (7.9¢)
incidental ingredients (you should have these lying around):
3 cups + 2 T of cold water
1 T soy sauce
1 T cornstarch
- bring the 3 cups of water to a boil. toss in the bouillon cubes and let dissolve.
- stir the cornstarch into the 2 T of cold water. pour into boiling mixture and stir.
- crack the egg into a bowl and slightly beat it. pour a little of the boiling mixture into the egg bowl, let sit for about 10 seconds, then slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot.
- dump in soy sauce and stir. let boil for about 30 seconds. pull off heat and serve with chopped scallion to garnish.
mmm...hit the spot and satisfied my salt craving. I can see myself making this to go with some of my favorite Asian dishes; or do what I did and eat it as a comforting afternoon snack.
