Ingredients

  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the 8 oz mushrooms and chop the 3 green onions, separating white and green parts. In a pot, heat 1 tsp sesame oil over medium-high.

  2. 2

    Add the mushrooms and white parts of the onions. Cook until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the 4 cups chicken broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup while stirring in one direction to form ribbons, about 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat, stir in the green onion tops, and serve hot.
