Ingredients

6 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 cup chiffonade spinach leaves
4 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, wiped clean, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Pinch finely ground white pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer. Add 6 tablespoons of the green onions, the spinach, mushrooms, soy and white pepper. Return to a bare simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Stirring with a fork or chopstick, gradually add the eggs in a slow steady stream. Cook until the eggs are set, stirring to create shreds or ribbons of the eggs, 1 minute.

Remove from the heat. Ladle into bowls, garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of green onions, and serve immediately.

Delicious - just add a drop of sesame oil for more flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe - very easy. I also added some storebought vegetarian potstickers to the broth and finished with just a... few drops of toasted sesame oil. I think the sesame oil gives it that little kick that some people think is missing.Read more

Disappointed
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I found it kind of bland too. How do the Chinese restaurants really make it?
