I always stock Eggs. When I need to make a soup quickly, this soup is always an option. As you can read in the ‘Method’ below, it is super easy and can be made in a few minutes. You can add other ingredients such as Wakame and Asian Mushrooms. But this soup is comforting and delicious as it is with just 1 Egg.

Yummy for tired days, similar to tomato egg drop soup. Just add wedged/ tomato chunks in the beginning (omit soy sauce and sesame oil) . The rest is the same. Potato starched water is optional. And lastly add chopped spring onion and sesame oil, give one – two stir and then turn off heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seed ( optional).

Thank you for your comment. Everyone has their favourite simple soup. I don’t add Tomato to this soup, but I often add Wakame. You are right it is good when we are tired.
