Chinese Fondue

Chinese Fondue - the fondue

Chinese Fondue is a combination of chicken broth and vegetables and chicken and scallops or shrimp.

At the end of the meal, the broth has been flavoured by the vegetables and chicken and scallops that have been cooking in it.  A raw egg and some noodles are dropped in and form Egg Drop Soup.
