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.

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.
