I promise these are legit physical exam tests.
So let's go back to something simple and comforting. Egg drop soup - Chinese buffet style.
Egg Drop Soup with Fried Wontons
EGG DROP SOUP
3 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
3 eggs
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 teaspoons soy sauce
ground black pepper, to taste
1 green onion, diced
optional: cooked mushrooms, shredded carrots, sliced asparagus, etc.
FRIED WONTONS
5 wonton wrappers, stacked and cut into ½ inch strips
vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
EGG DROP SOUP:
In a pot over high heat, add 2 cups chicken broth allow to come to a boil, then lower to medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together corn starch and 1 cup of remaining broth until completely dissolved (corn starch will not dissolve in hot liquid, but will clump instead, so don't add it directly). Whisk corn starch mixture into hot broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Add in frozen peas and any additional vegetables, if desired, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add sesame oil and soy sauce.
In a liquid measuring cup, whisk eggs. Pour eggs in a slow steady stream into the broth (now on low heat), whisking the entire time to get the egg ribbons. Stir in green onions, and black pepper. Adjust sesame oil and soy sauce to taste.
FRIED WONTONS:
Add a small amount of oil (about 1/4 inch deep) in a pan/pot on medium heat. Once hot add a few wonton strips and fry until golden brown (about 15-30 seconds). Remove from oil with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
Serve the soup with wonton strips and diced green onions. Enjoy!
Another adorable doodle and interesting story! You are on a roll my dear! Oh and I am sure the recipe is delicious
ReplyDeleteYummy! This soup is a Chinese restaurant classic!
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions of the exams are great - I will remember the "stick the tuning fork on their head like a unicorn" on my neuro rotation :)
Hey Sarah, yeah whenever I do the Weber test, my patients look a me like I'm an idiot haha. Neuro's been the only rotation I've needed a tuning fork - testing vibration on their toe also makes them give me funny looks too. Ah the things I do for medicine!
DeleteOh my. I hope I never need a neuro exam! I will be trying this recipe though :) Pinned!
ReplyDeleteBeen wanting to try egg drop soup. It sounds so fun! I'm a huge fan of Chinese food, one of my favorite home cooked meals growing up is sweet and sour meatballs. Just got a slow cooker, maybe I should adapt and create a recipe for that? Love the drawings on your photo, so cute!
