- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup shiitake mushrooms , sliced
- ½ cup scallions , chopped

- dash white pepper
Directions
- In a large saucepan, heat chicken broth and soy sauce.
- When hot, ladle out a small amount, about ¼ cup or less, and whisk with 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Whisk cornstarch mixture back into soup.
- Add sliced mushrooms and scallions, allow to low simmer for 2 minutes, so they soften slightly.
- While stirring, slowly pour in eggs. Since the mixture is hot, they should cook as soon as they hit the liquid creating wispy eggs.
- Add a dash of white pepper and serve immediately.
