Potato Egg Soup Ingredients Introduction

Although I recommended 2-3 potatoes, the flavor of this dish actually comes from the sauces and other ingredients like green onions and garlic. Therefore, the amount of potatoes can be adjusted. If you plan to eat the potatoes instead of rice, you can add plenty, and if you are going to have it with breakfast, slicing 1-1.5 potatoes thinly is sufficient.

Preparing Potato Egg Soup

The ingredient preparation for this recipe is very simple! First, cut the potatoes into your desired shape. You can soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes to slightly remove the starch, or if you want to prepare them the day before, add a few drops of vinegar to the water to completely remove the starch and rinse them once before using.

Slice the green onion diagonally or chop it finely! This completes the ingredient preparation! It’s very simple, right!?

Cooking Potato Egg Soup

Let’s start cooking right away! In a wide pot that can hold about 1.2-1.5 liters of water, add a tablespoon of perilla oil, or half a tablespoon if you don’t want it too oily, and heat over low heat!

Cheongyang Chili Pepper Addition Method for Soup

Mix the potatoes well with the perilla oil and stir-fry them until they are slightly golden to prevent them from sticking! Note that if the surface of the potatoes burns, it can taste bitter when you add water and boil later, so be careful not to burn them! After stir-frying, pour in 1 liter of water.

Once the potatoes are somewhat cooked, beat 2 eggs well and add them evenly. Make sure to stir well while adding so that the eggs don’t clump on one side. If you want to enjoy it completely clean, you can remove the egg strings before preparing.

Add the green onion at the end, bring to a boil once more, and check the seasoning. Adjust the seasoning with flavored salt if needed! Of course, you can also use soy sauce for soup and salted shrimp to flavor, but focus on achieving a clean taste as much as possible!
