Egg Drop Soup (Tamago Toji) image

This recipe is from the book "At Home with Japanese Cooking" by Elizabeth Andoh. I haven't tried it, but am posting it for future use and safekeeping because I always seem to have leftover egg from various other recipes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups stock (dashi is preferable, otherwise chicken or vegetable is fine)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 -3 fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 whole beaten egg
2 -3 stalks coriander or 1/2 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional)
szechwan pepper (sansho)

Steps:

  • Heat stock in a saucepan and stir in salt and soy sauce.
  • If using mushrooms, wash and slice thinly and add to the stock.
  • Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Bring soup to a boil and with a ladle or chopsticks stir the soup clockwise.
  • Pour in the beaten egg, remove the soup from the heat and stir counterclockwise.
  • If using add trefoil/coriander/chives, cover pot for 30-40 seconds then uncover and add pepper.
  • Serve immediately.
  • If you cannot find the sansho/Szechwan peppercorns, I imagine a pinch of standard black pepper (or a blend, which often contain sansho/Szechwan peppercorns) will do.
