A tangy tomato and fluffy egg broth cradles soft wheat noodles for one of China's ultimate comfort meals. This healthy, family-friendly soup is budget-friendly, quick, and fits within a 1500 calorie plan.
Prepare all ingredients: slice tomatoes into wedges, finely chop scallions, and beat eggs in a small bowl until smooth.
Bring chicken broth to a gentle boil in a pot over medium heat, then add tomatoes and simmer for 5–6 minutes, until tomatoes soften and release juices.
Add soy sauce, salt, white pepper, sugar, and noodles to the pot. Cook noodles to just al dente, stirring regularly to keep them from sticking (refer to noodle package for timing).
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer; slowly pour beaten eggs in a thin stream while stirring repeatedly in one direction for delicate egg ribbons.
Turn off heat, swirl in sesame oil, and top with chopped scallions. Serve immediately to preserve the silky texture of both egg and noodles.
