Egg drop soup is a simple and easy-to-make dish. It is a common home remedy known for moistening the lungs, relieving coughs, and soothing throat discomfort. Beginners can master it after making it once. There are two variations: sweet and savory.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Eggs
- White sugar (optional, for sweet version)
- Salt (optional, for savory version)
- Whisk (optional)
## Calculation
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you wish to make. One serving is sufficient for one person.
Per serving:
- 1 egg (approximately 50 g after removing the shell)
- 100 - 150 ml of boiling water
- 5 - 10 g of white sugar (if making the sweet version)
- 1 - 2 g of salt (if making the savory version)
## Instructions
- Crack the egg into a bowl.
- Using chopsticks or a whisk, beat the egg in one direction until the whites and yolks are fully combined and the color is uniform. (This process takes about 1 - 2 minutes.)
- Add seasonings such as sugar or salt to the beaten egg and mix slightly.
- Prepare freshly boiled water at 100 °C.
- **While rapidly stirring the egg mixture in the bowl with chopsticks, pour the boiling water into the egg in a thin, steady stream.** Ensure the boiling water is thoroughly mixed with the egg.
- Continue stirring for a moment until the egg is fully cooked by the hot water, forming a uniform pale yellow egg drop soup.
## Additional Notes
- To prevent potential salmonella found in raw eggs, it is recommended to use freshly boiled, 100 °C rolling water to instantly cook the egg mixture completely.
