  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 !
