6 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste

For the slurry

3 tbsp rice starch or cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water

For the egg ribbons

4 large pasteurized eggs, beaten
Ingredient note
The eggs here are pasteurized, which kills salmonella, so the egg itself is fine during pregnancy even when it is not cooked.

For serving

2 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
1 tsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add the grated ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and ½ tsp salt, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes until the broth is fragrant.
2
Add the sliced chicken breast to the simmering broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until the chicken is opaque throughout with no pink at the center and registers 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
