    Add the tomatoes and stir-fry them a couple of times.

    Pour an appropriate amount of water and bring it to a boil.

    Put the beans into boiling water.

    Stir in the water-starch slurry. Mix until it's neither too thin nor too thick. I had just a little left and felt it would be a waste to pour it in, so I added it all. Well, it's slightly thicker than ideal. 😅 This will affect the formation of large curds when pouring in the egg mixture later.

    Add the spinach.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Boil it once. Everything's fine up to this point 😅

  14. 14
    Step image

    Pour the beaten eggs in a circular motion.

  15. 15
    Step image

    When the egg strands float to the surface, add an appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper powder (optional according to personal preference), and sesame oil for seasoning.

    Stir well and serve in a bowl.
