Chef Cat Cora's recipe is here:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cat-cora/avgolemono-chicken-soup-with-egg-lemon-sauce-recipe.html We didn’t have leeks, so we substituted with shallots, which we sauteed along with the onion before adding to the chicken stock. (July 2015)

Other modifications: first, to make… Continue reading Korean three-mushroom rice with minced pork topping
