Directions
Heat the chicken broth over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Add in the pepper and salt.
In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolk and whites are fully mixed.
Once the broth is hot (not boiling), slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a steady stream while consistently stirring the soup in one direction.
Once all the eggs are added and cooked (they should appear like ribbons), turn off the heat.
If using, add a few drops of sesame oil and stir.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.
