Chicken and Egg Drop Soup

This recipe doesn't know how corn starch works.

Step one needs to be corrected, this is how is currently reads "Step 1 Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until hot. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool to warm, then shred the chicken." If you plan on following step 1 you may want to cook that raw boneless chicken breast before trying to shred it, don't you think? Just take step 2 & insert it in between the 2 sentences in step 1 or to make it easier follow my instructions: Step 1 Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until hot. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then sear the chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool to warm, then shred the chicken. Step 2 Bring the stock, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil in a the same saucepan. Stir together the soy and corn starch, then whisk into the broth and boil until the soup is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Step 3 Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk together the eggs, sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then pour the eggs into the hot broth in a slow stream, whisking constantly to scatter the eggs as they cook. Stir in the chicken, then season the soup with salt to taste. Serve the soup topped with the scallions. You're welcome
