Recipe 🍳

- Add a little minced garlic and 1 pack of soft tofu, breaking it into large pieces with a spoon, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once the soup starts to boil, gently whisk 1 egg in a small bowl and carefully pour it in a circular motion along the edge of the pot.
- When the egg is cooked and fluffy, garnish with spicy black pepper and a small amount of finely chopped fresh scallions, then immediately turn off the heat to complete.

Cooking tips 💡
- The fermented clams themselves have a salty and deeply savory flavor that is already perfectly balanced, so you don't need to add any MSG or soy sauce; the saltiness is just right.
- Do not stir the soup vigorously with a spoon immediately after pouring in the egg mixture, as this will make the clear and refreshing broth cloudy and dull. The secret to a clean broth is to let the egg cook and float on its own.
