Quickly add eggs. Stop stirring! Egg will string and cook. When egg is cooked, add cornstarch to thicken broth. Add chopped vegetables (sauteed mushrooms optional). Warm but do not cook thoroughly. Vegetables should be crisp. In serving bowl, top with snow peas. Serve with egg rolls or crackers. Serves 4 to 6. Note: If using uncooked noodles, add more time.
