Step 1

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add egg and broth. Whisk until egg is thoroughly beaten and mixed with the broth. If your broth is low sodium or unsalted, you can stir in a pinch of salt. Your liquid level should only fill about half of the bowl, so your egg has enough room to rise.

Step 2

Cover the surface of the bowl with a paper towel. Set your microwave cooking power to 700 watts (or as close to 700 watts as possible). Cook the egg for approximately 2 minutes, or until done. I recommend starting with 1 minute 30 seconds and then checking on the egg and cooking more as needed in 15-second increments.

Step 3

Let the egg cool a few minutes before eating. Garnish with scallions. I also like to add a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for additional flavor.
