[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@saviorJay51 Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)

[AWompnAndAWoopn]

well done, and not hard to do at all. I like the spices you put in it, but this recipe also allows one to add ones own spice and what not. best vid and recipe I have found on EDS yet!

[Sugarcanedady]

egg drop soup recipe can you writing how to making on my page,

[helimax29]

I tried to make it but it didn't taste very good maybe i didn't follow all of the steps

[MrFatbowl]

just like this, just like thattttt



[junkyturd]

I just use chicken broth, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and corn starch to thicken

[hootypatootie]

I love egg drop soup and this looks really easy to make!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@hootypatootie Thank you :)

[angrymousecat]

[wickedexp]

Her accent confuses me... Southern town Asian?

[Kezzkei]

Damit Jeff, lucky guy

[Twenty47Gamerz]

She said Beat it.. lol

[indian2003]

Her food is topp food and very good anytime. The recipecs and instructions are about the best in Youtube! No background musikk and her message talks to you directly and without distractions.

Thasnks alot Leela. Most of us will be back for more.>)

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@indian2003 Thank you very much - I really appreciate this :)

[grethomory]

Excellent and thanks. I'm adding this to my favorites!!!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@grethomory Thank you :)

[JCDaFresh]

"I just want to go ahead and beat this... 'Just Like That', until its thoroughly beaten" great tutorials tho

[XxShinGokuxX]

God i hope i can make this lol...i've been wanting to learn since like forever ago!! although I do have a question.

How do you make it so that the soup isn't too sweet?...because I've tasted alot of eggdrop soups from different chinese take outs here, and some of them seem to have a sweetness to it?...how can i lighten the sweetness?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@XxShinGokuxX Some places may add a bit of sugar in their soup. This recipe does not have any sugar added, it isn't sweet at all :)

[XxShinGokuxX]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy

I tried making it last night, and it did not look very appetizing, it looked nothing like how yours did, I used one whole can of chicken broth, and everything else was just as you said, but instead I used 3 eggs because I figured I wanted more eggs in mine, but then it ended up that my broth was very thick and mushy, and so were my eggs? what could I have done wrong? Was it because I added 3 eggs instead of 1?...

[TheUnholyPosole]

...like that?

[mkwiggle]

Just like that.......!!!

[rjaesayshello]

also how about 2 eggs and and a egg yolk.

[judyjackson651]

ok thank u

[judyjackson651]

why add water to egg?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@judyjackson651 It makes the thin strands in the soup :)

[praisehymn247]

Well, believe it or not I HATE soup and have only associated it as something you have to eat if you're deathly ill! LOL HOWEVER, for some strange reason I've been craving something to eat that's not heavy. A co-worker suggested egg drop soup (something I've never heard of). I found your video today and you make it look SO simple. So, against my objections to soup...I'm going to step out of the box and try it! I'll let you know how it turns out. Wish me luck! Thanks

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@praisehymn247 It's so good to try different things - Thank you for trying this - I hope it changes your opinion about soup - Let me know what you think :)

[praisehymn247]

@praisehymn247The jury is out after much deliberation...I absolutely LOVED it! The instructions are so simple even a cave man can do it. I first tried it with low sodium broth which wound up having no taste to me. I strongly advise you to follow this recipie to a T and use regular broth. I think I'll park here for a while and watch some more of your videos. Lila also give a list of many other ingredients you could add to this, so I'll have fun experimenting. Keep up the good work!

[DarthMocha]

Just made this today and it was awesome! Thanks for the recipe! It;ll be nice to have lots of egg drop soup for the coming winter! :)

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@DarthMocha Thank you so much for trying this and commenting :)

[lupo19fun]

yum, loved this as a kid. still love it!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@lupo19fun Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)

[MrCuteanimalvideos]

nice kitchen :D

[ihsdancersangel]

this turned out great!! thank you soooo much!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@ihsdancersangel Thank you so much for trying this and commenting! :)

[TwilightLurveVid]

Just made this, I stirred the egg too much & over cooked it a bit I think, it was way too stringy. Next time I'll pour it around the pan without stirring & serve it right away. Also put way too much soy sauce in, oops. D:

[DefenceSpeech]

I wish I had a hot Asian woman to cook me food.

[IsisStarlights]

What do you do if you want the egg to be thicker?

[AnaLopesss]

Here in Portugal we only have cubes of chicken broth, how can I do the soup like that? Please help me :(

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@AnaLopesss Hi - You can make the broth from the cubes. I think it is usually one cup of water for each cube (check the instructions on the cube to see exactly how much water to add) so here you would want to use 4 cubes and 4 cups of water. Just Place the cubes into boiling water until they dissolve and then you can continue with this recipe :)

[Hoglen06]

Is that Cooking sherry or the liqueur sherry?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Hoglen06 Here I use cooking sherry :)

[b4hanz]

hai, 4 sum1 tht cant eat sherry, wht should we put to replace it ???

it looks delicious btw.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@b4hanz Hi - for this recipe you can just simply leave out the sherry :)

[pinoy7tfc]

hmmm... needs sesame seed oil to make it a WINNER SAUCE IS WIN

[MorriganMalfoy]

Also, i've tried making this a few times the past two days since my dental work still hurts (I'm very thankful for your recipe!) and I wanted to have a little bit of thicker egg to go with this delicious broth. I just made it and added a little bit of baking powder to the egg/water mixture. It's been an one of my mom's tricks, and it helps even with scrambling eggs to make them fluffier. It turned out really good!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@MorriganMalfoy Oh my gosh I hope your mouth feels better soon - I always hate getting dental work done :( Thank you very much for trying this and commenting. The baking powder is a great idea :)

[MorriganMalfoy]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy Sorry for the late reply, but thank you very much! My mouth is doing better now, but this has been wonderful for the chilly Winter months. Five months later I'm still using this recipe and my family's added it to their list of favorites. Thank you so much again! :3

[MorriganMalfoy]

I halved this recipe to go with a light snack once some anethesia wore off from some dental work I had done today. I used the full amount of sherry and garlic, and used boullion cubes instead of broth because I was in a fix, used a whole egg and it turned out wonderfully! It was perfect for one serving. Thank you for posting this!

[tnkkiller]

Really good. Just made it with my son. Thank you!

[Aimanrulez]

i watched this because i droped an egg in my soup in accident xD jk

[roxie0917]

mm looks delish. gotta try it sometime for my husband.

[Azianchick123]

i love this soup cuz i am asian and it taste good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[csfreak50]

holy shit, I can watch you cook and talk all day lady

[badassnewbie]

What's the sherry for?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@badassnewbie Sherry gives this soup a bit of depth in flavor :)

[ForNachos]

Wow great recipe! thanks!

[Immad1337]

You have a nice living room.

[Teddybear419]

Does it HAVE to be chicken broth? cuz i'm a pescatarian, and i can't eat chicken or beef or pork :( and your beautiful by the way ^-^

[nutsack666]

@Teddybear419 why can you eat chicken eggs?

[Teddybear419]

@nutsack666 uhhhhh cuz im pescetarian -.- LOLZ i'm able to eat seafood. Is there like shrimp broth i cud buy?

[nutsack666]

@Teddybear419 right on..im not familiar with your beliefs. I believe there is some kind of seafood broth...you could google it?

[Teddybear419]

@nutsack666 haha xD alrighty lolz maybe i can make some shrimp broth :P

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Teddybear419 Hi - I never knew there was a definitive word for that way of eating - I used to be pretty much the same way before I met my husband. I mainly ate fish and vegetables, and once in a blue moon chicken.

Anyway, for the broth you can use a vegetable broth and then just add in some green onion, garlic, and ginger for extra flavor :)

[Teddybear419]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy KK ty ^-^ lolz, cuz i've always wanted to make egg drop soup, but the only recipes i've found so far were chicken broth stuff lolz

[Immad1337]

@Teddybear419 Egg... is... fucking... chicken.

[Teddybear419]

@Immad1337 lolz i'm still able to eat eggs. a pescatarian consists of being both lacto/ovo vegetarian, meaning that i can consume dairy products and also eggs. Besides, egg can't be classified as a meat product thats dereived from chickens. since underdeveloped eggs aren't fertilized, it can't make the actual chicken/bird. So ya, technically it can't be meat, its just protein and a few calories. So don't shout out shit that you dont know u fuck

[Immad1337]

@Teddybear419 All this pointless technical shit.. Just eat the damn meat, it's what it's here for... Stop being scared of it.

[Teddybear419]

@Immad1337 dude, you a bitch guy, i'm not scared of meat u faggot, i'm just choosing a healthier lifestyle. Something u can't do cuz ur weak, so how about u stop making pointless criticism on youtube and go on with your runescape, faggot

[Immad1337]

@Teddybear419 I'm weak? Meat is way healthier than eating just vegetables.. Meat gives you mass. And how am I the weak one? You are afraid of meat. That makes you weak. I'm glad you know how to profile stalk people and see their interests. Go on and listen to some Kanye and Jay-Z. Obviously you are scared of real music as well. I wasn't insulting you in the first comment, just stating my point, but you had to go off and rage on me.

[lumpyjohn1]

@Immad1337

Kanye and Jay-Z are shit

[babylyonhang08]

i like your kitchen lol and thanks for this video im gonna cook some for my boyfriend tonight =) hes sick.

[Smidthmador]

Do you have a boyfriend named Fry?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Smidthmador No- I'm married to a gentleman named Jeff :)

[Smidthmador]

Wouldn't fresh ginger taste better? I love ginger

Thumbs upped.

[1pdigit]

"and then what i'm gonna do is click thumbs up,...just like that"

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@1pdigit lol! Thank you! :)

[msetiao]

Thank you soo very much for showing us how to make this, it seems so easy I will definitely try to make this tonight! I have had this bug that just won't go away I tried to eat some pho at a restaurant and my husband made me some congee but I really wanted this soup and there are no Chinese restaurants close by! Thanks again I love how you type out the recipe and show us step by step! I know if anyone is incapable of cooking that would be me, I find a way to goof everything up!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@msetiao Thank you so much - I really appreciate it :)

[adampwnzu]

this is a good video. i found it funny when you kept saying "just like that"

[rosebudgirl8]

I'm a vegetarian and I used vegetable broth instead, but it just tastes soooooooo bland! what can i do?

[SuperKare123]

@rosebudgirl8 You can use Mushroom Broth. That's wat i use.

[FankuDansei]

"Just like that"

[elliments]

when i make an egg drop soup it looks likevomit

[Smidthmador]

@elliments Try stiring in one direction and use a spoon. Be sure to put your thickener in first. Hope that helps a bit :D

[gretschsounds]

here's a quick tip for adding the egg if you're making a larger quantity of E.D.Soup > when adding the egg, try putting the well-beaten egg into a ziplock bag w/ a tiny hole poked into the corner of it..When adding the egg just gently squeeze the egg thru the hole into the hot stock..It creates a nice ribbon of egg & looks nice ..very non messy too.

[g3no11]

are you married? love to get to know you,if you are hes lucky

[elliments]

@g3no11 you love to get to know a girl cuase of what? how she looks? if so. then wtf

[prankstaRdbFtw]

@elliments no, because she can cook.. duh

[elliments]

@prankstaRdbFtw LOL U CANT COOK?

[prankstaRdbFtw]

@elliments i can, it was a joke

[elliments]

@prankstaRdbFtw sure

[MrDogfish120]

@g3no11

....that's a little creepy.

[KillerXify]

I MISS these soup. Use to eat it when I get sick or during the cold season. Thanks for posting it up. 

[Raidynn]

Do you have to add sherry because that seems like it wouldn't taste so good to me :x

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Raidynn Sherry adds a bit of depth to the flavor, but you don't have to use it :)

[ShariSez]

@Raidynn It definitely tastes better with the sherry. I use Dry Sherry.

[isaacemokidskater]

[tDream78]

Some the comments are just annoying and immature. Come on stick to the soup, that's the point. Its not a CNN news cast here.

And what some of you guys who are so hormone driven never seen a pretty lady before? Yeesh. Come on. Take that stuff to the appropriate websites... its the net there's plenty of it.

~Oh and I am going to try this soup it looks good!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@tDream78 Thank you :)

[glatts420]

Yum!! I was on Y.T. looking for a simple egg drop soup recipe and this is delish!! And love the accent...reminds me of living in East Texas!!!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@glatts420 Thank you - I appreciate it :)

[GeraldineAmatOuder]

Easy, simple, delicius and great for dieting!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@GeraldineAmatOuder Thank you :)

[osummuso]

I use a can of creamed style corn, which has enough residual starch to thicken the soup without using the corn flour and gives you Chicken and Sweetcorn soup chinese style I guess.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@osummuso Yes, that's right - I love that soup too :)

[osummuso]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy I'm glad. It's such a lovely and simple base you've shown, which lends itself to all sorts of things depending on personal preference.

Noodles, mushrooms, chicken or crab meat.

I show it to friends that don't cook, so they can surprise friends.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@osummuso Thank you so much :)

[veggiecook101]

I really like this soup!

Oh, and by the way, you people really need to stop ripping on her for saying "just like that" so much. It's not like she's not doing her best!

Please grow up!!

[osummuso]

@veggiecook101 Actually, it's fun and contagious.

I talk to myself when I'm cooking and find myself saying it too.

It's all good.

[veggiecook101]

@osummuso I know. I do the same thing. I can just see all these comments hurting my feelings, and I would want someone to stand up for me. So I'm just treating others as I would want to be treated.

Thanks so much!

[osummuso]

@veggiecook101 I know. People can be really vile while hiding behind the internet.

I had one idiot say to me "pity I wouldn't live to see my daughter grow up"

I think Lila's probably got a handle on it. ;)

[veggiecook101]

@osummuso Yeah probably. People just act so awful!

[ChaChaDave]

Hi. Looks good!

[erosaffinity115]

thanks for the video love it.

"just like that" need to cut down too annoying. thanks

[ThePayal68]

i think you have to cut down saying "just like that "

[Trulynn]

@ThePayal68 ....and "go ahead".

[Dankalatrune1234]

this sounded so sexual. anyway i love this soup.

[vaea46]

it looks like vomit.. to be honest.. but i bet it taste nice.. i'm gonna try and make it.. tonight.. sorry im new to cooking.. what happens if u put 2 or 3 eggs. instead of 1

[IluvKirito]

@vaea46 It will be very very veeeeeeeeeery thick, pretty much all egg x_x

[giantbee89]

so do you go ahead and eat it just like that?

[karengemini568]

so when you put the broth on high, is their a precise temperature to turn on?

[hootie339]

thank you so much I have a craving for egg drop soup so you saved the day! thankx!

[bag3lmonst3r]

That looks delicious.

And the soup too. ;)

[gaymuraki]

Can one replace the sherry with something else?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@gaymuraki You can use shao hsing wine, or you can leave it out. Leaving It out will change the flavor just slightly, but it will still be good :) 

[blackchidori97]

@gaymuraki Orange juic works too :)

[cipher2]

@gaymuraki Yeah, one 12oz can of Millers

[KScharba]

@cipher2 Good answer!

[nasim1473]

go 'head. just like that

[DEEZNUTZ4SALE]

ooo no its you again, just kidding love the videos

[af4lazn]

"just like that"  X20

[narezul]

i dont know how 40 people dislike this its perfectly explained exampled and it even looks good

[narezul]

@feubarkada do you say things like this online not only cause you lack the courage to talk to girls but because nobody would ever ask to see anything of yours?

[muhang1234]

and then......
