I seriously don't know how many times I have gotten sick this year and it seems to be a running joke for my family where I seem to have always some ailment. I can say my immune system is pretty stellar though since I have caught the flu ONCE in my life. I would like to keep it that way thank you very much.
With this revolving door of being sick I have enough recipes and materials to put together a small pamphlet of recipes to use when the cold kicks you in the ass. Today I was craving pho. I also wanted to eat eggs since it has always been my go-to ingredient/meal when I'm sick. Decided to make egg drop soup since I deemed it a nice in between soup.
The research on this was shallow and I ran into this Egg Drop Soup Recipe from Allrecipes.com
The only variation I did with this recipe was:
- Used vegetable stock (had it on hand)
- Substituted chives with green onions
- Instead of cornstarch I used tapioca flour (had it on hand)
- Added bob choy (to add nostalgia to the soup since my mom puts book choy in her sinigaang [I'll tell you about that later])
Followed the recipe to a T! This recipe has potential (with using vegetable stock) and it probably taste more heartier with the chicken stock.
If you choose to take the vegetarian approach I say add more ground ginger or add freshly grated ginger and a little more salt.
So if you're in the same boat as me hopefully this recipe will help your white cells fight the good battle and keep a look out for a new entry on my top 10 recipes/remedies on fighting the cold!! Happy eating ^___^
