Instructions

  1. Prepare the seaweed
    Soak the dried seaweed in cold water for 5 minutes until softened. Rinse thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
  2. Create the base
    In a large pot over medium heat, add sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic and white parts of green onions until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add grated ginger and stir for another 30 seconds.
  3. Simmer the soup
    Pour in the broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring to a simmer and add the prepared seaweed. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  4. Add the eggs
    Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a thin stream while gently stirring in one direction with a spoon or chopsticks. This creates silky egg ribbons throughout the soup.
  5. Season and finish
    Add white pepper and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
