Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 3 tablespoons cold water.
Bring 1 liter chicken stock to a boil with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
Add the starch water and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
Beat 3 eggs in a bowl and lower the soup to a gentle simmer.
Pour the egg in a thin stream and stir for 30 seconds to form silky ribbons.
Add 2 scallions and serve immediately so the egg does not firm up.
💡 Tip: Pour the eggs in a thin stream while the soup barely simmers; that creates soft ribbons instead of clumps.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve immediately with scallions.
