Ingredients: Everyday and Easy to Find
- Main: Beef slices - 100g (thin supermarket cuts, a lazy cook’s dream)
- Extras: Tomato - 1 (pick a soft one for juicier broth), enoki mushrooms - 50g (or swap with tofu skin if you’re out)
- Seasoning: Salt - half teaspoon, soy sauce - 1 tablespoon, green onions - a sprinkle (ginger powder works too), oil - 1 tablespoon
- Water: 500ml (enough for two bowls, just right)
Tips: No beef slices? Slice up some ham—lazy kitchens thrive on improvisation!
Lazy Steps: Done in 10 Minutes
Step 1: Tomato Base—Cook Out the Red Broth
Wash the tomato, chop it roughly, and toss it into a pot with 1 tablespoon oil. Cook on low until juicy, then add 500ml water and bring to a boil. Once the broth turns red, the tangy aroma hits.
Kitchen Mutterings: Smell that tomato scent—spring’s popping right out of the pot!
Step 2: Enoki Boost—Add Freshness
Rinse and tear apart the enoki, throw them in, and cook for 2 minutes. They add chew and a burst of freshness to the broth.
Foodie Perk: That red, glossy broth looks so appetizing—hold off on sneaking a sip!
Step 3: Beef Drop—Silky and Quick
Lay the beef slices in the pot—don’t over-stir. Cook for 1 minute until they change color and they’re done. Too lazy to layer? Toss them in one by one; they’ll still be tender enough to slip off your chopsticks.
Lazy Trick: Keep the heat low—gentle cooking keeps the beef silky and saves effort!
Step 4: Season and Serve—Warmth Perfection
Add half a teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon soy sauce—taste and tweak if needed. Sprinkle green onions just before turning off the heat, then ladle into bowls. One hot sip, and you’re alive again.
Ultimate Temptation: Tangy-sweet broth coats tender beef, with crisp enoki for texture—spring happiness in a bowl!
