Legionnaires,
Keep yourselves fed, Valkyr may be immortal but hunger does not grant them mercy.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of chicken stock.
- 3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges or chunks.
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced. (always add more)
- 2-3 cups chopped green vegetables, spinach or bok choy--leeks works too.
- 1 large egg, beaten.
- 1 tsp salt (adjust).
- 1 tsp sugar.
- 2 tsp sesame oil.
- cooking oil for stir-frying.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- 1/4 cup of water.
Instructions:
1. Heat cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add tomatoes and garlic. Stir-fry until fragant and the tomatoes begin to soften.
2. Add salt and sugar to the pot, stir for 30 seconds.
3. Pour in the chicken stock, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a steady simmer.
4. While the stock simmers, prepare the dough. Place 1 cup of flour in a bowl and slowly drizzle in the water while mixing vigorously with chopsticks in a circular motion until the mixture forms small, pebble-like clumps.
5. Scatter the dough drops into the simmering soup and increase heat to medium-high. Stir gently, cooking for 5 minutes, then add the chopped green vegetables.
6. Drizzle in the beaten egg to form egg drops.
7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the sesame oil and adjust salt (or even sugar!) if needed. Serve immediately.
