    i love how everyone seems to think that asian cooking would be really hard when most recipes that i know of from my childhood were 10 ingredients max.

     This is something I have never tried but it sure does look good. We love to poach eggs in milk which is a similar process but never scramble them. Will try them. - 7/23/18

     I'm sorry but this made me hate egg drop soup now. - 4/11/10
  • SVUSAN
     Usually I only make egg-drop when I've got a bad sore throat, and then I only use soft veggies and I beat the eggs with about 1/2 olive oil before I pour the liquid egg into the heating soup--closer to the way they do it in restaurants. - 2/20/10

    why would you add the oil to the egg?
