🙋 Recommended for

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • Soybean curd 1 pack
  • Egg 2 pieces
  • Green onion 2 stalks
  • Water 500ml
  • All-purpose anchovy stock essence 2 tablespoons
  • Shrimp paste 0.5 tablespoon
  • Minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • Pepper a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour 500ml of water into a pot and add 2 tablespoons of store-bought anchovy stock essence. Bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Whisk 2 eggs until smooth, and finely chop the green onion.
  3. Once the broth starts boiling, cut the soybean curd into large chunks and add it directly to the pot. Add 0.5 tablespoon of shrimp paste, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of pepper. Adjust seasoning.
  4. When the soup begins to bubble again, slowly pour the beaten egg mixture around the edges of the pot. Let it sit undisturbed until the eggs become soft and fluffy.
  5. Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped green onion on top, gently mix, and turn off the heat.
  1. Mix anchovy stock essence into water and bring to a boil. Whisk the eggs.
  2. Add soybean curd, shrimp paste, minced garlic, and pepper to the boiling broth.
  3. Pour in the egg mixture around the edge, cook until set, then add green onion to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not stir immediately after adding the egg mixture—this will make the broth cloudy and cause the eggs to break apart. Let them cook undisturbed until softly set, then gently mix.
  • For better umami and freshness, adjust seasoning with shrimp paste instead of salt if needed.
