Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

Stuff in soup:

Hakusai/Chinese cabbage 1/4 head (they sell them pre cut at Jusco)

Chingensai/Bok choy 2 things (I left this out cause they didn't have any at the store)

Carrot 1/2 thing (I used a whole one)

Shiitake mushrooms 4 (I used 3)

Bamboo shoot 1/2 thing

quail eggs (hard boiled) 12 eggs (I used 10)

pork (small slices) 150g

squid 1/2 a squid

shrimp(smallish?) 100g

ginger (tube is ok) 1 tsp

Sesame oil

Starch

Soup:

Chinese flavoring （中華味）1 tbsp

oyster sauce 1.5 tbsp

sugar 1 tsp

cooking sake 2 tbsp

pepper 3 shakes

water 600 cc

How to make:

1. Chop up all the veggies

2. Mix the soup ingredients in a saucepan and boil. Set aside

3. Cook the pork in a frying pan. Add the ginger. Add the squid and shrimp

4. Add the veggies. My frying pan's kind of small, so I had to add them a little at a time.

5. When the veggies have shrunken down a bit, add the soup and quail eggs to the frying pan. Boil for a few minutes

6. Turn off the heat. Melt the starch in some water (however much you think you need) and pour it in. Mix. Add a little bit of sesame oil. Done!

This was really easy to make! The hardest part was juggling dishes around my tiny kitchen. I was fortunate to have a friend over to help me with washing the dishes. I took some for lunch today, but it got kind of soggy sitting in my bento all day. But, it was really good fresh! Definitely will make again!
