Nori and Egg Drop Soup

Method5 steps

1. 1

   Soak the Nori

   泡发紫菜

   Soak the dried nori in clean water for 15 minutes, then drain and set aside.

   干紫菜用清水泡 15 分钟，捞起沥干水份备用。

   ⏱15 min

   • 💡 Rinse after soaking to remove any sand or grit.泡发后冲洗一下可以去除泥沙
   
2. 2

   Make the Soup Base

   煮汤底

   Heat a saucepan, add 1.5 L water, 5 ml cooking oil, and 2 g salt. Once the water boils, add the nori.

   热锅，倒入 1.5 升清水、5ml 油、2g 盐。待水开后放入紫菜。

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Adding oil and salt first gives the soup base more depth of flavor.先放油盐可以使汤底更有底味
   
3. 3

   Pour in the Egg Mixture

   倒入蛋液

   Three minutes after the nori has been boiling, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the pot. Remove from heat after 30 seconds.

   紫菜烧开后 3 分钟，将打好的蛋液徐徐倒入锅内，30 秒既可起锅。

   ⏱4 min

   • 💡 After the water boils, lower the heat and pour the beaten eggs around the center of the boiling water.水开后将火关小，将蛋液围绕中间沸腾的水倒入
   • 💡 For tender egg ribbons, cover with a lid, turn off the heat, and wait half a minute before opening.为了使蛋花比较嫩，可盖上锅盖熄火等半分钟后再打开

   Add Chopped Scallion

   加入葱花

   Sprinkle with chopped scallion and simmer on low heat for 20 seconds.

   撒上葱花，转小火 20 秒。

   Season and Serve

   调味出锅
