Pick-Me-Up Egg Drop Soup

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, or to taste
• 1/4 cup finely broken udon noodles
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Sea salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir udon pieces into broth and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but are still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
