How to make- the best Egg Drop Soup with crispy wontons

I show you how to make Egg Drop soup that is easy, healthier, cheaper, and better that what you would get at a Chinese takeout place.
Background: I started working as a hibachi chef when I was 16 at my dads restaurant here in Athens, Ga. Since then I have worked in a handful of different restaurants, cooking hibachi, mastering sushi, and even making pizza!

One of the most underrated channels I’ve ever seen, love your videos dude

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

Thank you, that means a lot!

[@TomokoAbe_]

If you plant the white bulbs of the onions, they will take root and you will have a constant supply of green onions. I grow them outside in a planter. They are so flavorful when home grown. The green onions just keep on coming back over and over again.

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

I’ll have to try that, thanks!

[@warwickdennis4114]

Thank you 🙏🏾, I didn’t know that, will try the next time I buy green onions.

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

[@maydaygarden]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love restaurant egg drop soup that has wispy shreds and translucent sheets of egg. The secret is adding the cornstarch to the broth and letting it thicken and heat, BEFORE adding the egg, letting it sink, then gently stir. My mistake was adding cornstarch slurry after the egg. It clouded the broth and the eggs were scrambled lumpy bits. I could never figure out why. Now I know the proper technique! The green onion slicing skills were nice touch. TY TY TY!

The knife technique on the green onion was beyond informative. I have never seen this. Thank you. I love the detail of taking your dish to the next level in presentation besides the taste...tho, I do need at least a good amount of white pepper in the slurry. Just made this and it was fantastic. The won tons are something you must make along with the soup.

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

Thank you so much for acknowledging the attention to detail! I’m so glad you liked it, and I agree, white pepper is a great idea for this soup!

[@jtjulius]

KZbin sent me to this channel and I was so angry at first while Kyo went into a diatribe about all the people he wanted to thank! I was almost tempted to thumbs down! It was like going to an award ceremony to hear a person thank everyone and you don't even know if the recipe is any good! Thanks to all participants should have been saved for the end! But I have to admit it is a very good recipe even though some of the cooking techniques weren't Asian as I've come to understand and an added bonus to Kyo for giving the wonton recipe that other Egg drop soup channel recipes OMIT!

Great! I have the ingredients and will make this tomorrow! I am trying to lose weight though so won't fry the chicken breast, I will boil it in the chicken stock instead, and I won't add the sesame oil at the end. Hope my version will taste as good as yours looks! Thank you from the UK!

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

Awesome! Boiling the chicken is a great idea to cut down the calories, using only egg whites as would also cut down the fat content. I highly recommend adding a very small amount of sesame oil at least though. Even a half the amount of what I use will pack a punch and take the flavor to another level. Good luck with, thanks for watching!

@@cookingwithkyo5744 All great ideas! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment! I made my version today and it was delicious! I will definitely try your low fat/low calorie egg whites version, as then I can happily add a little sesame oil at the end to balance it out! THANK YOU! 👌

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

I like the explanation in your video and your green onion chopping. I don't know why it would be so much healthier than a restaurant version. It's always nice to make your own and have it fresh of course. But nutritionally, I'm guessing the restaurant makes it in a very similar way. I'm making mine with my homemade chicken broth which has a little ginger and has the benefit of bones simmered for a long time, so I think that would be a bit healthier. Good restaurants might even use their own broth too (though some might prefer the bouillon flavour, especially the take out restaurants you are thinking of). I put msg in because I wasn't using the bouillon.

[@cookingwithkyo5744]

Thanks for your input, and thank you so much for watching!

Vegetarian egg drop you can use baked tofu squares; for the broth they have vegetable bouillon squares.
