Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups broth
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup bok choy or 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 green onion, chopped fine
• 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped fine
• soy sauce (optional)
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 combine stock, ginger and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium heat.
• 2 combine eggs and green onion in a small bowl and beat lightly.
• 3 once boiling, add bok choi or spinach and let simmer until tender.
• 4 while stirring soup, slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the still simmering soup. the faster you stir and the slower you drizzle, the finer the egg's consistency will be.
• 5 continue to simmer for a 1-2 minutes to ensure that the egg is thoroughly cooked, then remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. also season with soy sauce to taste if a more chinese flavour is desired. (i prefer to omit this ingredient as i prefer a more vietnamese flavour).
• 6 divide into individual bowls and garnish with cilantro.
