EASY CHINESE EGGDROP SOUP

1 egg, room temperature - 2 cups of chicken stock - Pinch if Salt - Pinch of sugar - Soy sauce to taste - Scallion/green onion/chives, cut into tiny circles
Beat a room temp egg lightly in a bowl, set aside. Put stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to the lowest setting.
Hold the bowl with the beaten egg above the pan with the broth. Slowly pour the egg into the broth in a very thin stream. Hold a fork in your other hand, and trace circles on the surface of the broth, drawing out long threads of egg on the surface.
