Notes
You can add any vegetables that you prefer to the soup.
I prefer cooking the soup on medium to high heat to achieve its proper texture according to my recommendation.
The egg mixture should be poured slowly because this method will produce long egg strings which enhance the visual appeal of the dish.
You should use red chili sauce as a substitute for Schezwan sauce when you do not have it at your home.
