Egg Drop Soup with Bok Choy and Fried Pork Rind (青菜猪皮蛋汤)
青菜猪皮蛋汤 (Qing Cai Zhu Pi Dan Tang)
Most Chinese soup recipes, especially homemade versions, do not use a lot of spices or ingredients. Chinese soups tend to have simple ingredients and keep the original flavor of the ingredients, be it meat, egg or vegetable. This simple egg drop soup is no exception, I added fried pork rind to have a different texture and flavor. Treat yourself with this healthy warm soup in a cold winter night, it takes less than 15 minutes to make.

Ingredients
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Cooking Steps
1. Get a medium size pot, add 4 cups chicken stock (or use water, with chicken flavored soup base). Boil.
2. Add a few slices fried pork rind, cover the pot, let the rind simmer for a few minutes to become soft.
3. Get 1/4 lb. Bok Choy, rinse clean, cut into small slices. Add to the soup, cook for a couple of minutes to become fully cooked.
4. Break 2 eggs into a small bowl, use chopsticks or other tools to whisk the egg evenly. Spread the egg slowly to the boiling soup, on top of the bok choy to avoid getting stuck to the bottom of the pot, use chopsticks to gently stir the egg to evenly cook the egg for a couple of minutes.
5. To serve, sprinkle a few drops of sesame oil if you prefer.
