- 2 Salted eggs (Use the salted egg yolks and retain a small amount of the whites; the creator mentioned that one is usually sufficient)
- 3 Straw mushrooms (Sliced)
- 2 Tofu (Cut into pieces and soak briefly in salt water to season it and remove the beany odor; tofu piece size not specified)

- Garlic slices (Quantity not specified)
- Hot water (A generous amount can be added for more soup; quantity not specified)
