Servings: 1
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked, diced chicken
- 2-3 cups unsalted chicken bone broth
- 2 tbsp short-grain rice
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, grated
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
Instructions
- Add the chicken, garlic, ginger, and 2 cups of broth to a small pot.
- Bring this mixture to a boil, and turn the heat down to medium-low.
- Gently simmer for one hour, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes. See notes below.
- About 15 minutes before the soup is done, remove 1/3 cup of the hot broth from the pot. See notes below.
- Crack the egg into the bowl, and slowly drizzle in the hot broth while constantly whisking.
- When the soup is done, add the tempered egg to the pot when the soup is done, stirring constantly.
Notes
Be sure to stir the soup every 10 to 15 minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Vigorously stirring helps break down the rice and create a creamier consistency.
If you don't have enough broth to temper your egg, add more to the pot, bring it back to heat, and remove what you need.
The instructions say 2-3 cups of broth because you may need additional broth depending on the brand or rice you buy. This should be thick but not too thick. You wanted it to look like the picture. If you think it's getting too thick or want more broth, add more as needed.
