Directions

I checked the subject list under Asian Cooking, and didn't see any I recognized as this soup. I didn't have time to check each one individually, so I hope this doesn't duplicate what you already have.

This is from the "Sunset Oriental Cookbook". Thinly sliced green onion, including tops Prepare sesame seeds;place in a 5-6 qt. kettle and add ribs, broth, water, soy, sugar, garlic, ginger,pepper, and whole onions. Bring to a boil over med. heat;cover, reduce heat, and simmer till beef is tender (2½ -3 hrs.) Lift out ribs, and let cool. Lift out and discard ginger and onions. Skim and discard fat from broth. When ribs are cool, discard bones and fat; then shred meat with fingers. Return meat to broth and add daikon. Bring to boil over med. high heat;cover,reduce heat,and simmer till daikon is tender to > bite (10-15 min.). Add oil. Gently break eggs, one at a time, into barely simmering broth;cover and cook just till eggs are softly set ( about 2 min.). Ladle soup and eggs into individual bowls, and sprinkle sliced onions over top. Makes 3 or 4 servings.
