Vegetarian Egg Drop Soup

• 1 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
• 2 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/4-inch dice
• 1/2 cup minced scallions, white part only
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3/4 cup rice wine or sake
• 5 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 pound snow peas, ends snapped and veiny strings removed
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 6 tablespoons water
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons water

1. Heat a heavy soup pot over high heat, add the oil, and heat until hot, about 20 seconds.
2. Add the tomatoes and scallions, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
3. Add the soy sauce and rice wine or sake, and stir-fry over high heat for 20 seconds.
4. Add the water and salt, and bring to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 2 minutes, skimming the surface to remove any impurities.
6. Add the snow peas and stir.
7. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
8. Once slightly thickened, remove from the heat and slowly add the beaten eggs, pouring them in a thin stream around the edge of the pot.
9. Carefully stir once or twice so that the eggs form thin streamers.
10. Taste for seasoning and ladle into serving bowls.
