Top Tips For Easy Egg Drop Soup
- Sesame oil is not absolutely necessary but gives the soup a really nice flavor.
- The speed at which the soup is swirling and how quickly you pour in the eggs will determine the size of the egg “threads.” If you want larger or thicker egg threads, don’t stir the soup as fast and pour the egg in faster.
- Do not pour the eggs into a rapidly boiling soup or else it will break apart into very small pieces and you will not have egg threads.
- Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth, to make vegetarian.
