Close the lid & let it rest in the pot for 15-30 minutes. Remove the eggs & meat from pot; halve the eggs & slice meat. Set it aside.

After it is boiling, gradually add in the eggs; stir in a circular motion as fast as possible. It will become an egg drop/flower soup. Gradually pour in corn starch mixture; stir the gravy constantly. Season with enough salt & pepper. Remove from the heat & set it aside.
