Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Eggs
Set into soft ribbons and body as they cook in the hot broth.
Misua
Thin wheat noodles that thicken the soup and give it a silky texture.
Chicken broth
Forms the liquid base that carries all the flavor of the soup.
Onion
Sweetens and builds savory depth as it softens in the oil.
Garlic
Adds aroma and toasty flavor when browned in the oil.

The step that matters

Simmer until eggs are cooked. Eggs cook quickly in hot liquid. Gentle simmering sets them into soft ribbons, while a hard boil can make them tough and rubbery.

Swap the clove
