chopped green peppers, chopped water chestnut, chopped jicama root,

Oil or 1/2 t Chinese hot oil just before serving ~ for additional
protein and flavor, stir Egg Threads into soup just before serving
EGG THREADS: In a small skillet, heat a little margarine. When it
begins to bubble, add 1 egg beaten with a little cold water. Tilt the
pan so the yolk mixture coats it in a thin layer, the thinner the
better. When the egg is lightly cooked, turn it out onto a cutting
board. Slice it into very thin strips with a sharp knife. (makes
about 1/3 cup)
