Step 1

In a wok or large saucepan stir fry the tomatoes with the 2 tablespoons of vegetable stock for 5 minutes until soft.

Add in 2 cups of vegetable stock, coconut aminos, white pepper, sesame oil and 1 cup of water.

Step 3

Bring to the boil and then drop the temperature to a simmer.

Step 4

Now stir in the cornstarch mixture (slurry) stirring in a circular motion to make the liquid swirl in the pot/wok. Once the slurry is mixed through, keep stirring and drizzle in the beaten egg in a thin stream so you get the nice ribbons of egg the soup is famous for.

Top with coriander / spring onions if you are using them and eat! (I didn’t have any so au naturel it was hehe)
