Heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan. Add the chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon minced ginger. Stir-fry over medium heat until fragrant.
Add 3 tablespoons of fine chili powder. Carefully stir-fry without burning to create a rich red chili oil base.
Add the prepared squid and pork loin. Stir-fry until combined. Optionally add 1 tablespoon of chili oil for extra flavor.
Add the prepped seafood—shrimp, clams, and mussels. Season with 1/2 tablespoon black pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until slightly caramelized.
Once the seafood is partially cooked, add the onion, zucchini, bell pepper, and spinach. Stir-fry quickly over high heat.
When the vegetables begin to wilt slightly, add 1 tablespoon oyster sauce to enhance savoriness. Mix well.
Pour in 1.2L of boiling water. Simmer gently until flavors are well blended. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Cooking tips 💡
Using fine chili powder instead of regular chili powder ensures a clear, bright red broth without cloudiness.
If using chicken stock, adjust salt at the end since different brands vary in salt content.
When serving with separate noodles, prepare the broth slightly saltier than usual, as noodles absorb the liquid.
