- Cook the noodles in boiling water, rinse under cold water, then briefly soak in hot water and set aside in bowls.
- Once the broth is boiling, gradually add the starch slurry in two or three batches to achieve the desired thickness. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently to create a smooth texture, then finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
- Pour the rich, thick broth generously over the prepared noodles.

Cooking tips 💡
- Adding minced garlic during cooking helps eliminate any fishy odor and enhances the deep, savory flavor characteristic of Chinese cuisine.
- Adding the egg mixture after adjusting the broth’s thickness ensures the eggs don’t clump and blend smoothly throughout the soup.
