Faux Egg Drop Soup

I loved Egg Drop soup and it is one of the things I miss from my non-vegan days. This recipe is a very close imitation and it is adapted from VegWeb. The key to this recipe is the Indian Black Salt. It gives it the sulfuric smell and taste that eggs have. You can find it at Vegan Essentials online store or Amazon. My next goal is to recreate the bits of egg found in real egg drop soup with silken tofu in the future :)

INGREDIENTS
1 cup rolled oats
5 cups water
2-3 cups No Chicken broth
2-3 green onions, minced
Indian black salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

METHOD
1. In a pot, combine the rolled oats and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and let simmer for 1 hour.

2. Remove from the heat and let the oats cool. In a separate sauce pan, heat the No Chicken broth until it is hot and add it to the pot of oats. Stir until well combined, then strain out the oats. Reserve the gelatinous mixture and put it in the sauce pan that was used to heat the No Chicken broth.

3. Reheat the soup and add the indian black salt, white pepper and green onions.
