Quick and Easy Egg Drop Soup.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (or 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp water (for mixing with cornstarch)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Heat the broth:
    • In a medium-sized pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
    • Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil (if using), and ground ginger. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the broth simmer for a few minutes.
  2. Thicken the soup (optional):
    • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering broth. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the broth slightly thickens.
  3. Prepare the egg ribbons:
    • In a small bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
    • While stirring the soup gently in a circular motion, slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the broth. The eggs will cook instantly and form delicate, silky ribbons.
  4. Season and serve:
    • Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • For added flavor, you can toss in some tofu cubes, corn kernels, or mushrooms.
  • Serve with a side of crispy wonton strips for added texture.

Kai Jeow (Thai Omelet).

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce for a vegetarian option)
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp lime juice or vinegar (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or sunflower oil) – enough to shallow-fry
  • Jasmine rice, for serving
  • Sriracha or Thai chili sauce, for dipping

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the egg mixture:
    • In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them thoroughly with a fork or whisk.
    • Add the fish sauce (or soy sauce), white pepper (if using), and lime juice or vinegar (optional, but helps to make the omelet fluffy). Beat the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat the oil:
    • Heat a generous amount of oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. You need enough oil to shallow-fry the omelet, which helps create the signature crispy edges.
  3. Cook the omelet:
    • Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan from a bit of a height to create air pockets for extra fluffiness. Let it fry undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, allowing the edges to crisp up.
    • When the bottom is golden and crispy, flip the omelet carefully. Cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until it is fully cooked through.
  4. Serve:
    • Remove the omelet from the pan and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
    • Serve the Kai Jeow over steamed jasmine rice with a side of sriracha or chili sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped green onions, chilies, or even ground pork or shrimp to the egg mixture.
  • The key to a good Kai Jeow is frying it in hot oil, which creates crispy edges and a fluffy interior.

This quick and easy Thai omelet is comforting, flavorful, and a great meal at any time of day!
