Whenever I go Chinese restaurant I always order Hot & Sour soup. My favorite.

Hot and sour soup is my favorite. I won't return to a Chinese Restaurant if they have a poor H&S. Chef Jimmy is right on with the white pepper.

My Dad taught me to add the eggs After thickening with the starch. Stirring in one direction, while pouring slowly and continuously, gives thin ribbons rather than microscopic flecks of egg.
A note...To maintain quality, it's better to eat 2 Small bowls rather than one large bowl. The enzyme Amylase, found in Saliva, breaks Starch molecules into Simple Sugars. After a few spoonfuls of the starch thickened soup, your saliva will breakdown the starch and the remaing bowl of soup will get thin and watery. Use separate spoons to taste from the pot and adjust seasoning...JJ

Thank you for explaining this! I've had this happen a number of times when I've made egg drop soup which is thickened with corn starch. I usually just make it for myself so I have no shame tasting off the spoon that I'm stirring with. It always seemed totally random when it would turn out watery but this make so much sense now.
