Cooking StepsHow to cook Shredded Daikon and Pan-Fried Egg Soup (Flavorful Version) step by step

Cooking Process

1. 
   Step 1 Detail

   Bring 3–4 bottles worth of drinking water to a boil in an electric kettle and set aside. Peel the daikon, cut into thin slices, then cut into fine shreds about the width of a chopstick tip.

2. 
   Step 2 Detail

   Place the shredded daikon in a bowl, add a small spoonful of salt, mix well by hand, and let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse off the salt and drain well.

3. 
   Step 3 Detail

   Crack 5 eggs into a bowl (duck eggs also work).

4. 
   Step 4 Detail

   Add cooking oil to a flat-bottomed pan — about the same amount you’d use for stir-frying. Heat over high heat.

5. 
   Step 5 Detail

   Once the oil is hot, reduce to medium-low heat and gently pour the eggs into the pan. Do not stir right away. Once the egg sets, gently shake the pan; when the egg pancake slides freely, flip it over.

6. 
   Step 6 Detail

   Pan-fry slowly until one side is done.

7. 
   Step 7 Detail

   Fry until both sides are golden brown, then turn off the heat immediately.

   Carefully transfer the egg pancake to a clean, dry cutting board.

9. 
   Step 9 Detail

   Cut into square pieces.

10. 
    Step 10 Detail

    Heat a small amount of oil in a pot over high heat. Once hot, reduce to medium heat.

11. 
    Step 11 Detail

    Gently add the shredded daikon and stir-fry until just wilted (断生).

12. 
    Step 12 Detail

    Once wilted, pour in the pre-boiled hot water (you must use boiling water — this is the key to a milky-white, beautiful broth!).

13. 
    Step 13 Detail

    Add the cut egg pieces. Do not stir. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 5–8 minutes.

14. 
    Step 14 Detail

    When time is up, remove the lid and season: add salt, chicken bouillon powder, and white pepper powder. Use a ladle to gently stir in a circular motion to dissolve the seasonings evenly.

15. 
    Step 15 Detail

    Before serving, sprinkle with scallions and goji berries — do not stir! Place towels on both sides of the pot (to protect your hands from burns), carefully lift the pot with both hands, and gently pour the soup and ingredients into a serving bowl.
