My Chinese friend, Ruth Fung, who with her husband serve as missionaries in Europe, shared this recipe with me at a cooking demonstration at Black Forest Academy. The use of oyster sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce give the soup a very authentic flavor.

Ingredients

  • 8 C. (2 liters) chicken broth

    Flavorings: soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil Optional garnish: green onions
