Hi everyone, do you like egg drop soup?
Why is egg drop soup so popular?
Please leave me comments below.
Let me know.
To me, egg drop soup is just so comforting and also easy to make.
I have a few recipes on my channel.
I'm going to list them in the description box below.
Today we're going to make another egg drop soup with seaweed.
So I have the dried seaweed.
And you just need one piece, small piece.
Look, just break it.
About that handful and soak in warm water.
If you don't have seaweed like this,
you can use like toasted seaweed to serve in the end.
You don't need to cook this.
So this is in the water.
It's going to open up and expand a little bit.
Of course, we need two eggs.
My egg-land eggs.
I always season my eggs with a little bit of salt.
White pepper powder.
If you don't have it, you can use ground black pepper.
Oh, a little bit too much.
It's okay.
Just take out a little bit.
So the white pepper powder is milder and used a lot in Chinese cooking, right?
In soup or seasoning meats.
If you guys know me already.
That's our eggs.
And just need one green onion for garnish.
And optional, some cilantro.
Just roughly chop up for garnish too.
I also have some dried shrimp to flavor the soup.
And they are like this papery shrimp.
Like this, very small.
And you don't need to soak them.
But if you have those dehydrated shrimp, dry shrimp, you can soak them for a few minutes.
Now I'm going to just drain the seaweed and we're ready to cook.
In the pot, we'll add about three cups of water.
You may use chicken stock.
And just handful of dried shrimp.
And bring this to a boil.
Now the water is boiling.
Let's turn to low or simmering.
Now let's make our egg drops.
Add slowly and stir.
Now we turn the heat to medium.
Add the seaweed.
Just bring this to a boil.
Now we garnish with green onions and cilantro.
Let me just taste it.
That's definitely some salt.
Yep, some salt.
And some white pepper powder.
Last, drizzle some sesame oil.
And our egg drops is ready.
Such a simple soup, isn't it?
Looks great.
Smells good too.
Smells like the sea.
Let me give it to you.
Great.
Cheers.
Tastes like the sea, right?
Comforting?
I love it.
Both seaweed and dry shrimp really give good flavor.
And ingredients are very simple too, right?
As I said, if you cannot find the dry seaweed,
you can also use the toasted seaweed.
Excuse me.
Please try to make it.
