Special Precautions and Tips:

• Ensure that the stock is not too hot when pouring the beaten eggs to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly and forming clumps.
• Adjust seasoning according to preference, especially salt as some chicken stocks may already have inherent saltiness.
• Spring onions can be replaced with regular chopped onions if not available. However, spring onions provide a more authentic flavor to the dish.
