👨‍🍳 Method

  2. 2
    Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl.
    BowlWhisk
  3. 3
    Add the gluten-free soy sauce and salt to the soup and cook for a minute.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Dissolve the starch in a little cold water, stir it into the soup and bring to a boil, until the soup thickens slightly.
    Stove
    💡Dissolve the starch in cold water before it goes into the hot soup: dry starch clumps up instantly.
  5. 5
    Slowly pour the eggs into the boiling soup, stirring, and cook for a minute, until the eggs set into thin threads.
    Stove
    💡Pour the egg in a thin stream into soup that is already thickened and boiling, and stir slowly: that way it sets into thin threads, not lumps.
