Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- chili oil 2 tablespoons
- vegetable oil 1 tablespoon
- minced garlic 1 tablespoon (generously)
- ginger a little
- red pepper powder a little
- water 800ml
- green onion a little
- dashi meat 100g
- bean sprouts 1 handful (or soybean sprouts)
- tuna sauce a little

Recipe 🍳
- In a pot, heat 2 tablespoons of chili oil and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and a little ginger, and sauté over low heat until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- When the garlic aroma rises, reduce the heat or turn it down slightly to lower the oil temperature, then add an appropriate amount of red pepper powder to create a chili oil seasoning base without burning.
- Pour in 800ml of water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Gently press the green onion with the back of a knife to loosen its fibers, then chop into large pieces and add to the pot along with 100g of dashing meat and a handful of bean sprouts.
- Add tuna sauce for extra umami, adjust seasoning with salt as needed while boiling, and sprinkle pepper on top.
- Gently beat 1 egg and drizzle it over the boiling broth in a zigzag pattern to form egg ribbons.
- Do not stir after adding the egg; let it cook undisturbed for another 30 seconds to finish.
- Sauté chili oil, vegetable oil, garlic, and ginger, then mix in red pepper powder to make the base.
- Add water, green onion, meat, and bean sprouts, and simmer briefly.
- Adjust seasoning with tuna sauce and salt, then sprinkle pepper.
- Drizzle beaten egg in ribbons and cook undisturbed for 30 seconds to finish.
Cooking tips 💡
- Red pepper powder burns easily if added when the oil is too hot, leading to bitterness in the broth—always lower the temperature before adding.
- Stirring immediately after adding the egg makes the broth cloudy—let it sit undisturbed until the egg is softly set.
