Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce and sesame oil. Bring to a boil. Stir together the cornstarch and water to dissolve cornstarch; pour into the boiling broth. Stir gently while you pour in the egg and yellow food coloring if using. Season with chives, salt and pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to a boil in soup pot.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon salt & mix.

• Stir a small amount of hot broth into slightly beaten egg. Add egg mixture into hot broth slowly, stirring all the time. Cook until clear and slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
• Garnish with scallion.

Steps:

• 1 Prepare the broth, if necessary. If not freshly made, heat the broth to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 2 Have ready 4 heated soup bowls. Place a slice of toast in each bowl, then crack an egg over each slice of toast. 3 Pour the hot broth over the eggs to cover by a few inches. Sprinkle with the cheese. Let stand until the egg white is cooked to taste. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.

Steps:

• Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork. Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately. Once the eggs have been dropped, stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.
