🍽️Serving Suggestions

This soup is simple yet nutritious:

  • Cabbage: Rich in vitamin C and fiber, low in calories.

  • Soft tofu: High-quality plant protein and calcium, tender texture.

  • Eggs: Complete protein and lecithin, fried for extra aroma.

  • Goji berries (optional): Antioxidants and a touch of natural sweetness.
    The milky broth comes from emulsifying fried eggs with water—no dairy needed!

🍲 Serving Tips

  • Pairings: Enjoy alone or with brown rice/whole-wheat bread.

  • Seasoning: Keep it light with just salt, or add white pepper/dried shrimp for depth.

  • Storage: Best served fresh. Tofu hardens if stored too long.

  • Dietary: Great for all ages. Reduce oil for weight loss; use firm tofu for vegans.
