How to use
Ingredients
- Egg
- Minced pork
- Scallions
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe (and Usage)]
- [If Homemade] Oil the back of a heated round metal ladle, stream a thin layer of beaten egg. Place minced pork filling while soft-cooked, fold in half on the ladle to wrap (traditional Taiwan Lunar New Year handmade scene).
- [Hot Pot] Frozen store-bought is mainstream now. Toss frozen into hot pot soup.
- Since the skin (egg) is already cooked, it's ready when the pork inside cooks through.
- The egg skin absorbs massive soup umami, becoming fluffy. Acts as an oasis in super-spicy soups like Mala Hot Pot.
