Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 to 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cups cooked rice
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sliced scallions
Instructions
- Whisk eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of kosher salt until smooth; set aside to use later.
- Simmer stock and rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken stock and soy sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the cooked rice and stir constantly to prevent the rice from clumping together.
- Cook the rice mixture: Season with additional salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to taste. Cover the pan slightly and cook the rice mixture for about 5 more minutes. If the soup is too thick, gradually add up to 1 cup more chicken stock to reach your desired consistency.
- Add the eggs: Reduce the heat to low and slowly drizzle the whisked eggs over the surface of the soup. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until just set.
- Incorporate the egg: Gently stir the cooked eggs into the soup, creating silky strands throughout the broth.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting 10-minute rice soup.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to ensure smooth egg ribbons in the soup.
- Adjust the soy sauce and salt to control the saltiness of the broth.
- Add extra chicken stock if you prefer a thinner soup consistency.
- This soup works well with leftover rice for quick preparation.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth and use a soy-based egg replacer.
- Garnish with additional toppings like sesame oil, chili flakes, or shredded nori for extra flavor.
