the brazilian way is better
There was an egg drop soup with crab and corn in Sing Ya, the premier Chinese restaurant in the city with the oldest street of Tang people.
Thanks!
First time viewer, I enjoyed the video, thank you for the receipt. I'll be watching everything else you have uploaded. Again thank you…
Yes. Now I gotta see if Hot & Sour soup is on this page.
Maybe this is the receipe which I ve been looking for almost 40 years. When I was a boy, I used to taste this soup, since that I was thought to find the name.
Been watching since the beginning..every recipe has been on point..and delicious
As an adult I think egg drop soup is kinda gross looking. But as a kid I thought it was magical weirdness how it’s egg and whispy. But I’ve always loved the flavor and usually am happy if it shows up at the table as part of the meal.
Now that he doesn't have to worry about keeping himself employed he's teaching on YouTube.
I love watching your videos. They're well made and easy to follow. Makes my mouth salivate just watching.
How did the algorithm know that I’ve been wondering how to make this soup from scratch and not always use the pre-made mix from the market. ❤😂
Comfort food ♥
Exactly the video I needed today! Recently, due to the rising cost of food, I decided that I'll just eat more eggs to compensate with what little meat I can afford. I was thinking of different ways to eat eggs, then I remembered "Egg soup from Chinese restaurant!" and I ended up here. Now I know how to make a proper egg flower soup! A long time ago, I tried making it by guessing, but it never thickened. Apparently, I needed potato starch to thicken it and not to dump the eggs all at once lol! Next week I hope I'll get to make my own egg flower soup after I buy the potato starch.
Man that shit looks fire. One of my favorite soups
what percentage is gutter oil
Lau Ba Ba is a nice guy
I wish my local Chinese restaurants would take as much pride in their food as your dad does. Everything he makes, he makes with passion and care.
Wow! Thanks for this yummy egg drop soup recipe!
What If I can't eat seafood
Great technique … homemade eggdrop soup is one of my comfort foods. One shortcoming in this vid however (IMHO) is the use of low quality canned chicken broth or bullion powder. Its an uphill battle to try to overcome a poor starting broth. A good quality commercial chicken base (ex: I like Knorr 095 and Better Than Bullion are both very good) is a much better tasting option, if good homemade broth isnt handy. Base is also compact and takes up very little room in your fridge … no need for bulky cans or powders that oxidize over time. I keep a pint jar in my fridge at all times.
As for potato starch … i'll definitely try it, as I normally use corn starch. Good tip.
I still remember the first time I ate this soup
Amazing came out perfect. 😁👍
I love your videos! I would like to know where to buy a knife like your. fathers
Well, that was nostalgic ! I remember very well having stumbled randomly on your first egg drop soup video (I believe that's the one that made me discover your channel), and it certainly helped me warm my stomach (and my mental state) during the darkest hours of the pandemic !
Thank you and your dad for all these fantastic videos over the years !
This was the soup my dad would make when I was sick
