Tips & Tricks: 

Top Tips For Easy Egg Drop Soup:

• The  swirling rate of soup  and how quickly you pour in the eggs will determine the size of the egg “Ribbons.” For  large or thick egg ribbons , don’t stir the soup as fast and pour the egg at a time. 
• Don`t pour the eggs into  boiling soup or else it will form into very small pieces and you will not have egg threads.
• You can stir the stock as fast as you want to create the whirlpool.
• Vegetable broth can be used in place of chicken stock, to make it vegetarian.
• You can use homemade chicken stock or shop bought or chicken stock cube, it`s totally personal opinion. I am using my own chicken stock.
• Thickens the soup.  Cornflower doesn’t make the Egg Drop Soup too thick, but it add creamy richness in your soup.

Storage tips:

• Egg Drop Soup is best served immediately so it is not recommended to store  the soup. Whisk together  stock, cornflower, ginger cover and refrigerate.
• When it’s time to make Egg Drop Soup, give the broth a good whisk & mix all lumps of cornstarch then proceed to simmer and add the eggs.
• Stove: heat over medium low heat, stir occasionally .
• Microwave: microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then warm at 15-second intervals, careful about  not to overheat.
