How to make Ginger Spring onion Egg-Drop Soup

Smash 3 spring onions and cut into 2-inch pieces, then put in a 2-quart saucepan with water, broth, ginger, and 3/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer, then poach chicken at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let broth steep, covered, 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop remaining 3 spring onions and shred chicken.

Discard spring onions and ginger from broth and bring to a brisk simmer. Add beaten eggs in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in spring onions, chicken, and white pepper (if using). Serve drizzled with sesame oil.
