1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
1/4 cup cold water
4 cups chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil (optional)

2

Bring the chicken broth, ginger, and garlic to a full rolling boil, remove from the heat, and stir in the dissolved tapioca starch. Boil until the soup has thickened and is no longer cloudy, about 1 minute; remove from the heat. Pour the egg into the soup in a thin line, and gently stir the egg in a figure 8 shape, making sure not to overmix the egg too much. Sprinkle the soup with the chopped onions, sesame oil, and white pepper, and serve.
