EGG DROP SOUP
This soup is very easy to make and very delicious. It is in fact so easy to make that it really is the sort of thing you can summon the will to cook even when you arrive home from work hungry. I originally made it out of nostalgia for a soup I had in college that endows its eater with good soup manners. I think it would work just as nicely with beef broth.

Steps:
- Put chicken stock, water, garlic, cilantro, ginger, peppercorns and (if you are using) dried shrimp or scallops in a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Let cook for 20 minutes.
- Strain broth into another pot, taste and adjust salt. Bring back to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with Shaoxing wine or sherry. Whisk eggs with remaining teaspoon cornstarch.
- Whisk wine-cornstarch mixture into soup until combined. With the soup on a low simmer, stir once with a spoon to make a slight current. Pour in the egg-cornstarch mixture, through the tines of a fork, letting it form ribbons. Allow 10 seconds to set, then stir gently to break them up as you like.
- Top thickly with scallions and ground pepper, and serve.

Steps:
- Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Set aside until filling is cool enough to handle.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- While oil is heating, place an egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening edges with water as you go; roll tightly to seal. Repeat to make a few more egg rolls, wiping the work surface between each roll.
- Place several egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until wrappers are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you make and cook remaining egg rolls.

We start many stir-fry meals with this easy egg drop soup, which cooks in just a few minutes. There are many recipe variations, but we like the addition of cornstarch to thicken the soup and give it a rich, golden color.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work, but make sure they are thawed before using.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality chicken broth: The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use store-bought or homemade chicken broth.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and color to the soup. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, and green onions.
- Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or fish sauce for extra flavor.
- Garnish the soup: Garnish the soup with green onions, cilantro, or other herbs before serving.
