In reply to Ariel. Ariel, adding in silken tofu sounds like a wonderful idea!

I made this. It was good, but the egg taste didn’t come through as strong as Just Egg normally tastes. It also wasn’t the same as real egg drop soup. No ribbons. The Just Egg was so soft at first that I couldn’t feel it. I recommend leaving it in the pot after the stove is off. The hot water will cook it more. It was much better the second bowl after it had been sitting for a while on the stove. It did take on more of a ribbon (micro ribbons) shape after it had been sitting and cooled.

But it did almost settle the craving for egg drop soup. I used to make this recipe all the time at home before going vegetarian and then vegan. I did miss it. I’ve always loved the pairing of white pepper and ginger. I’d add more if I made this recipe again. I love spicy egg drop soup.

Finding vegan chicken bullion for this was a wonderful idea, my go-to broth is soi sauce. lol. I wonder if adding tofu would help this recipe? I watched Kyong Weathersby do this and it looked authentic and wonderful. Maybe a mix of egg replacer and silken tofu? Silken tofu is godly in vegan egg salad making it very authentic in texture.

I had the exact same issue with my vegan egg when making myself vegan hot and sour soup for the first time 😞

In reply to erinwyso. Thanks. It was the old version, so not sure why it didn't work. I'll try it again sometime but leave the egg in the freezer for a bit longer. Or, if all else fails, I'll just cook it like scrambled eggs a but and then drop it in there. :)

In reply to gretchen.

Gretchen, Sorry it didn’t work! I used FYH’s algal-based egg here, and see that they recently switched to a soy-based egg — if you used that version, maybe that is why it didn’t work? Also, the broth needs to be really hot, and the vegan egg needs to be freezing cold. I hope you can try again with good results!

Yeah, it tastes good, but it definitely didn’t work like yours in the pictures. I tried doubling up on the vegan egg powder (like the basic recipe they give you in the box), I tried stirring slowly for many minutes hoping it would just all of a sudden set up like a mousse, never did. There are tiny little drops, but certainly no ribbons. Is there something I missed?

Nice! Egg drop soup is one of the very few things I’ve kinda sorta missed maybe a few times in the 10+ years I’ve been vegan. Looks delicious!

I just made this and the flavor was great, but my egg drops didn’t really form so it just ended up thickening the broth. It was still tasty, but I will have to play around with the egg drop method next time.
