Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth or stock

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 -2 green onions, minced

• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

• Salt to taste

• Handful of snow peas

• Handful of sliced mushrooms

Directions

In a wok or saucepan, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the white pepper and salt. Cook for about another minute.

Very slowly pour in the eggs in a steady stream.

Other hints to make a better soup:

Lightly beat the egg so that no bubbles form.

Turn off the heat the minute you begin pouring in the egg (this produces silkier threads).

Pour the egg in a very slow stream (pouring it through the tines of a fork from several inches above the pot is a good way to keep the stream slow and steady).

Begin stirring as soon as you start pouring in the egg.

To make shreds or threads, stir rapidly for at least 1 minute.

Stir the beaten egg in one direction only.
