3、Should I use MSG to flavor my egg drop soup?

Most restaurants use a lot of MSG to make these soups, which makes the egg drop soup taste fresher, we don't have a problem with MSG, but if you don't want to use it, that's fine, I make this egg drop soup without MSG.

Whenever I cook eggdrop soup, the eggdrops always fall apart into chunks, how should I make the eggdrops more neat and beautiful?

You can try to break the eggs gently before cooking them, and then pour them into the pot slowly while stirring gently with chopsticks, which will make them more neat and even.

ou can increase the amount of eggdrops appropriately, or add a little starch water to thicken the soup when cooking to make it thicker and enhance the taste.

When I make eggdrop soup, the eggdrops always spread too much, how should I solve this problem

You can add a little cornstarch when you break the eggs and stir well before pouring into the soup, which will make the egg flower more cohesive and less likely to spread.
