I had been cooking Asian food since I was a teenager. I learned from my Japanese mom. We would sometimes add a bit of thinly sliced celery to it before thickening the broth. I'm 66 yrs old now, and my daughter wasn't interested in learning how to cook. It makes me sad to not be able to pass down the years of knowledge I gained from my mom. I rarely cook anymore and miss having anyone to cook for. Sometimes, I wish a hungry family would adopt me. Thank you for your excellent and authentic videos. If my daughter ever expresses interest, I'll refer her to you.

You are a treasure, my dude. Nobody instructs these recipes like you do.

The production value and attention to detail in your videos is second to none. Thanks for another great recipe!

[SoCalBee]

I have tried several of your recipes and they all turned out spot on perfection. The amount of time and effort you put into your recipes, Jason, deserves our support. Thank you.

10/10 I have made this for my family 13 times now and it is always a hit

[debatem]

Yet another banger! I made this for company and they ate every drop! So easy too, it's definitely going in the rotation.

If you ever find time to do hot and sour soup that would rock, but I love your work and will be thrilled with whatever you come out with next! You're the best!

Subscribed. Just made the soup and it came out perfect. Nailed the craving for a fraction of the price. Moreover your clean vide format and Google doc written recipe instead of an ad infested blog earned my respect.

[PoeLemic]

Once again, why can I say? Your recipes are so spot on. And, the technique that you show us throughout this entire video, is beyond what other's on youtube provide. Thank you immensely.

Amazing instructional. Loved the different levels of complexity. And the soup was great!

[bobnewkirk]

If you want a really clear broth spring for some Tapioca starch over the corn starch; it makes the broth less cloudy and has a slightly cleaner flavor.

Egg drop isn't my thing, but you're doing awesome work for people who need guidance and again, it's super cool that you came in with the google doc recipes!

Also, pretty cool that Townsends chimed in!

Finally!! Now the meal is complete!! 🤣 Now to rewatch Egg Fried Rice, General Tso's, Egg Rolls, and Egg Drop Soup! lol, Great job Jason!

[nickvids]

Made this one tonight. The basic takeout version with 1/2 tsp turmeric added. Hands down better than any takeout place I've tried out here. Thanks for the bangin recipe!

Your channel is one of the best culinary channels on YouTube. I don’t know how you don’t have millions of subscribers. Keep up the great work Jason!

Nice video 👍🏻 I agree it's so customizable. I like how you showed the different variations in the cooking process. I've seen 3 methods before - the adding a little water to the Eggs, using Ginger & Green Onion to enhance the flavor & black vinegar. You can't go wrong with any of them.

[lalunafate]

I am building a full takeout at home menu from your videos. Can't wait to finally put it all together

[cindytrinh]

I like how you explained everything from the ingredients to assembling them together when cooking. You are clear and thorough Keep up the good work!

Let's go back to separating the egg whites and yolk. I find it when cooking soup with egg. It's best to separate the whites and yolk. otherwise, it'll smell like a hard boil egg (gasy).
My daughter will complain.😂
