Steps
- 1
Bring the broth, ginger, and tamari to a gentle simmer in a saucepan for 5 minutes.
- 2
Stir the broth in a slow circle and drizzle in the beaten eggs in a thin stream so they form ribbons.

Tips
- Keep the broth at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, for delicate ribbons.
- Many restaurant versions use cornstarch. This one does not.
