Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 When peeling the luffa, don't use too much pressure; keeping some of the green part makes the texture crispier and helps preserve nutrients.
⚠️ The key to making silky eggs is the order of 'thickening first, then adding the egg mixture'. If reversed, the eggs will overcook and become plain scrambled eggs, losing their silky texture.
🍳 After drizzling in the egg mixture, use low heat and stir gently. Allow the thickness of the sauce and the residual heat to set the eggs for a perfect, silky finish.
