This soup is very common in East Asia and also easy to make. The vegetable used in the soup is typically only sold in Asian or oriental markets so make sure you don’t buy the wrong vegetable.

Ingredients:

.5lb of Chinese mugwort

2 beaten eggs

Boiling water

3 slices of ginger cut into strips

Vegetable soup base

Oil

Salt

Black pepper

Directions:

Cut the mugwort into thirds

Pour enough oil into a large pot to cover the bottom

After the oil is heated up, put the stem portion of the mugwort into the pot gently

After it is flexible and softened a little, put in the ginger and 1 cup of boiling water

Add a couple generous pinches of salt

Place the rest of the mugwort and water

After it is at a boil, pour in the eggs at different spots to reduce clumping
