First, sip, and you’re hooked – that’s the magic of soda sữa hột gà (Vietnamese egg soda). An odd blend of ingredients coalesces into a refreshing, creamy, and utterly captivating drink.
This recipe hinges on four components: fresh milk, egg yolk, condensed milk, and soda. However, the resulting concoction is far from plain. Each sip reminded me of warm afternoons in bustling Vietnamese coffee shops. Let’s give this incredible drink a try!
Sweet And Creamy Soda Sữa Hột Gà
Hailing from the southern regions of Vietnam, soda sữa hột gà has gained popularity not only in its homeland but also in neighboring Cambodia. The contrasting sensations of the creamy froth and the fizzy soda were unlike anything you had tasted before.
The club soda, with its acidic properties, reacts with the egg yolks causing the proteins to curdle slightly. This might sound off-putting at first, but this curdling process is what gives the drink its characteristic frothy and creamy texture, akin to a rich eggnog.
Over time, various versions of this incredible Vietnamese drink have evolved using different types of eggs, with quail eggs being a popular choice. Each variation brings a slightly different nuance to the flavor profile and texture.

Easy Directions to Conquer Soda Sữa Hột Gà
Step 1: Prepare The Egg-Milk Mixture
Start by cracking an egg, and carefully use the two halves of the eggshell to separate the yolk. Place the yolk in your glass.
Next, add sweetened milk and condensed milk to the glass with the egg yolk. Use an electric whisk to whip these ingredients together for about 8 to 10 minutes or until you achieve a fluffy texture.
Once you’ve reached the desired fluffiness, add lime juice to the glass and whip for another 20 seconds. This will balance the sweet and creamy taste of the milk, and enhance the overall flavor of your drink.
Step 2: Add Club Soda And Serve
At this point, you should notice the enticing smell of the egg-milk mixture. Now, pour chilled soda into the glass until the frothy milk fills up to the rim.
Stir the mixture gently with a spoon. Your Vietnamese Egg Soda is now ready to be enjoyed.
Useful Notes To Remember
How To Store This Egg Soda
When it comes to storing egg soda, it’s crucial to note that this is a drink best enjoyed fresh. Given the raw egg component, this is not a beverage that stores well. The risk of bacterial growth, particularly Salmonella, increases over time.
Refrigeration doesn’t necessarily guarantee the safety of a raw egg beverage like this one. While chilling can slow down bacterial growth, it does not halt it entirely. Given enough time, even refrigerated egg drinks can become unsafe to consume.
As such, it’s always recommended to consume your soda sữa hột gà immediately after preparation to ensure both the best taste and safety.

- Mixing the egg yolk with milk and soda requires a swift and vigorous hand. Doing so neutralizes any potentially harmful substances in the egg and ensures that your egg soda retains its freshness. This is why I often use an electric whisk.
