• 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion and more for garnish

Directions

Get your chicken or vegetable stock to a boil and add the  ginger, garlic, scallion and any other vegetables you are adding like I used asparagus and let cook for 5 min. Now whisk the corn starch and water together and slowly drizzle it into the soup.

Now add the fish sauce and sesame oil and take off the heat. Now using a fork start whisking the soup and slowly pour in the whisked egg making sure it hits the fork and it broken up into the soup evenly.

Cook at a low simmer for another 5 min and its ready to serve. Garnish with some fresh scallion and maybe some chili oil. Quick easy, inexpensive and delicious!

NOTE: this soup does not keep well so just make enough for that serving. If you have some leftover take it off the heat let come to room temp then store in fridge. Best to reheat in the microwave.
