Lu Bao Egg Drop Soup

A quick, comforting, and flavor-packed soup made with Oak City Spice Blends’ Lu Bao seasoning.

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

• 3 large eggs

• 2–3 teaspoons Lu Bao seasoning (Oak City Spice Blends)

• Optional: sliced scallions or chives for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix the Cornstarch: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the chicken broth until smooth.

2. Heat the Broth: Pour the remaining chicken broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the Lu Bao seasoning and the cornstarch mixture.

3. Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly.

4. Create Egg Ribbons: With the soup gently simmering, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the broth in a thin stream, stirring the soup in a circular motion with a fork or chopsticks as you pour. The eggs will cook instantly, forming silky ribbons.

5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions or chives if desired. Serve hot.

Tip: For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
