Egg drop soup with ginger, chiles + spring peas
Alcoholic beverages
Egg drop soup is an early food memory for me, brought home in Styrofoam cartons from a cheap Chinese takeout restaurant and slurped in thick, salty swallows. The lacy egg, though, always seemed to be a bit out of place in such a humble dish, so I thought that giving it a touch of spring vegetables would lend it a delicate freshness to match. The soup made here felt at once familiar and more graceful than its memory, which seems a perfect metaphor for these early spring days.
