This recipe has all the flavors and ingredients the local chinese fast food chain "Magic Wok" here in SoCal has, since they don't use vegies that tend to wilt (onions, chives, sprouts, etc) the soup travels and reheats well.The kind of soup you'd get and later reheat in a Styrofoam to-go bowl. Most recipes emphasize the authentic, this recipe is the closest to actually buying it from the take out places you'll find, and it guarantees you'll get the egg texture correct. Unlike most recipes on here. http://www.grouprecipes.com/29401/egg-drop-soup-fast-food-version.html
