Steps
- Pour 1/4 cup of the chicken broth into a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons cornstarch and stir until smooth to make a slurry.
- Crack 3 large eggs into a separate bowl and lightly beat them.
- Pour the remaining chicken broth into a pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon tamari soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, and a pinch of ground white pepper.
- Whisk together, then pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir.
- Reduce to a gentle simmer (no big bubbles); create a vortex with the whisk and very slowly stream in the eggs in the opposite direction.
- Let half the egg mixture set for about 30 seconds before adding more, to form defined egg ribbons.
- Gently stir one final time before serving.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with thinly sliced green onion.
