Ingredients

4 servings

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Butcher's Organic Chicken Bone Broth Wegmans Organic Chicken Bone Broth Bell & Evans Air Chilled Organic Chicken Bone Broth
Fond Chicken Bone Broth, 14 fl oz
See all
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
½ tsp soy sauce
Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
¼ tsp ground white pepper
Ingredient note
White pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp turmeric
Ingredient note
Turmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water
4 large eggs
¼ tsp salt, or to taste
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions and the allium family as common bladder irritants, especially raw, but scallions are milder and this recipe uses only about 3/4 scallion per serving, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Combine the chicken broth, grated ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, white pepper, and turmeric in a medium saucepan. Bring to a steady simmer over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice, until the broth is fragrant and just beginning to bubble at the edges, about 5 minutes.
2
Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until completely smooth. Pour the slurry into the simmering broth while stirring constantly, then continue to stir until the broth thickens slightly and turns glossy, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
