    I grew up eating this (and stir fried tomato and scrambled egg 😂). My mom didnt like cooking and we were broke because she was a single mom and a new immigrant struggling to find work (my dad was around too but he was equally broke and struggling). My mom would normally make it with just tomato, water, egg, and salt. And honestly, this basic version is quite good too. But i must try your version

    We had a wonderful and cheerful Chinese student stay with us in our home in Uzbekistan, and he cooked as a dinner one night. I don't remember other dishes of that dinner but this soup was so good I still remember it 35 years later

    I am definitely making this next time one of us is sick. Looks like a great substitute for chicken noodle when you don’t feel well.
