- 1 shiitake mushroom soaked, it can be frozen and ready to use anytime
- 1 egg
- noodles
- lettuces

Optional ingredients
- wood ear mushroom
- oyster sauce
- tomato paste
Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add a whole tomato in, with the skin scored. Also, add a few slices of shiitake mushroom and simmer the broth for 5 minutes. You can also add other ingredients that you like into the pot and cook them together.
- Five minutes later, the tomato skin should be very easy to remove. Use a spoon to press the tomato and make it into several small pieces.
- Add the shrimp in. The shrimp usually takes only 2 minutes to fully cook. If your noodle needs to be cooked longer, add the noodle first instead. (For example, the noodle I use only need 1 minute to cook. So I add the noodles 1 minute after I add the shrimp) Add the lettuce, stir well and turn off the heat.
- For optimal results, you can cook the noodles and lettuce in another saucepan based on the instruction on the package. This will end up with a more tasty broth. You can also add "optimal ingredient" while simmering the broth in step 1 for extra flavor.
