The next dish I'm creating for the first time will be egg drop soup for lunch tomorrow and maybe on Tuesday I will do fried rice.

Tom Kha is difficult to make well, in my experience. Galangal is key, and I think it's better to use salt than fish sauce, although some recipes call for it.

Thanks for the heads up

There are some basic ingredients that make a drink a mai tai - usually multiple rums and orgeat syrup (or another almond extract/liqueur).

Just rum and random juice isn't a mai tai, it's a rum punch.

Let him go...he's on a roll.

So the egg drop soup earlier today came out pretty, pretty, pretty good. I know it can be better because I didn't have 3 ingredients one of which the recipe says is crucial in sesame oil, green onions and ginger. But it was still awesome and so easy and quick to make.

@buzd any suggestions on egg drop soup? You seem knowledgeable about these things.

Was just looking at the recipe as it's not one I usually make. I do make a similar greek version (more lemon, less ginger), as I usually have chicken stock around and I like the brothy soups. Seems the sesame oil and ginger are pretty critical and would greatly improve your efforts. I'm glad you were happy with the result, though.

This is the recipe https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/egg-drop-soup/ And if the oil and ginger are that critical then this soup is incredible because it was pretty awesome without it.

So Wednesday I'm making shrimp fried rice and egg drop soup and we have egg rolls we can put in the oven. Seems simple enough.

Rice fries better after a day or two. You should cook the rice now.

I read that and I was going to make that rice tomorrow because I have to make rice for the black-eyed peas I'm cooking for dinner right now.
