Step 1
Pour broth into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth, then pour into boiling broth while stirring.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low. Crack eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork.
Step 4
Slowly drizzle beaten eggs into simmering broth while stirring constantly. Stop when all egg is added; silky strands should form.
Step 5
Pour in sesame oil, then taste and season with salt and white pepper as needed.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls and top with chopped scallions. Serve immediately.
