CRISPY CHINESE NOODLES (RESTAURANT STYLE)
These light and airy strips add a great garnish to soups or when cut wider, can be a great alternative to regular chips at a Chinese-themed dinner. I love to use them in my chicken corn egg-drop soup! You can vary the amount by cutting only the amount of strips needed for the number of guests. Serve with duck sauce and Chinese mustard sauce for dipping.

Steps:
- Heat a wok over medium heat until very hot and pour vegetable oil into hot wok. Let oil heat until the surface shimmers. To test heat, lower the tip of a wooden chop stick into the oil; if it bubbles vigorously, oil is heated enough.
- Cut egg roll wrappers into 1-inch strips and gently lay strips into the hot oil, 2 or 3 at a time. When strips start to brown on one side, gently flip over and brown the other side until the strips are crisp and golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers, working in batches. Remove crisp noodles with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Steps:
- Pour chicken stock and water into a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Remove about 1 cup of the boiling liquid and stir in the cornstarch until dissolved. Add back into the pot and season with Thai seasoning and white pepper.
- While the liquid is boiling, start stirring it in one direction quickly. When the liquid is moving in one direction, without you stirring it, pour in the eggs.
- Reduce temperature so liquid is simmering and add ramen noodles (discard flavor packets unless you want extra seasoning. In that case, use as much of the flavor package as you like). Cook until noodles are soft and eggs have cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.

CHINESE EGG DROP SOUP
As a kid, I looked forward to one of my mom's signature dinners: fried chicken wings and egg drop soup. I have no idea how she came up with this combination, but as a mother of two myself, I want to create the same memories for my own kids. The egg drop soup I've had in restaurants over the years always seemed to pale in comparison to my mom's and I recently figured out why. My mom added a tiny bit of sugar to the soup to balance the usually salty/peppery taste of this soup. No wonder why I loved this as a kid. I served this a few days ago and my son asked for seconds (something he never does)... so 'thanks, mom!' Enjoy this simple, yet tasty soup!

CHINESE EGG DROP SOUP WITH NOODLES
Steps:
- Bring stock, soy sauce, Sherry, ginger, and garlic to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Remove ginger and garlic with a slotted spoon and discard. Stir in noodles and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 4 minutes. Stirring soup in a circular motion, add eggs in a slow, steady stream. Simmer, undisturbed, until strands of egg are cooked, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in scallions (to taste) and sesame oil. Season with salt.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, flavorful broth, and tender noodles are essential for a great egg drop soup. Look for organic or free-range eggs, homemade or store-bought chicken broth, and thin, delicate noodles like vermicelli or angel hair pasta.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly: This will help create a smooth, even texture in your soup. You can whisk the eggs in a bowl or directly in the pot before adding them to the broth.
- Add the eggs slowly: Don't pour all of the eggs into the soup at once. Instead, drizzle them in a thin stream while stirring constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Don't overcook the eggs: As soon as the eggs are cooked through, remove the soup from the heat. Overcooked eggs will become tough and rubbery.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Chopped green onions, cilantro, or parsley are all great garnishes for egg drop soup. They add a pop of color and freshness.
Conclusion:
Egg drop soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and quick cooking time, it's a great option for a weeknight meal or a light lunch.
