Let me walk you through the process of crafting this comforting soup. Don’t worry; it’s as straightforward as a walk in the park!

Start by combining the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, ground white pepper, and ginger in a pot. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. This base is where the magic begins. The aroma you’ll experience will captivate everyone in the kitchen.

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Once the broth is boiling, slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry. This will help thicken the soup and add that luxurious texture we adore. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.

While the broth is simmering, gently add the frozen wontons into the pot. Allow them to cook for about three to five minutes, depending on the instructions on the package.

You want them to be tender and fully cooked.

This is where the magic happens! Slowly drizzle the lightly whisked eggs into the broth while stirring gently with a fork. This will create the beautiful ribbons of egg drop. Keep stirring until the egg is fully cooked and incorporated into the soup.

Add the toasted sesame oil, scallions, and turmeric if you are using it. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or MSG as desired.
