Cooking tips 💡

• When making the chili oil, be sure to add a small amount of minced ginger to bring out the distinctive Chinese-style aroma and elevate the dish.
• If you stir vigorously right after adding the egg, the egg will break apart and make the broth messy. Let it sit undisturbed until the egg sets for a smooth texture.
• Adding the starch slurry all at once can cause lumps, so pour it in gradually while stirring the broth to adjust the consistency.
