BOILED PORK: Rinse the pork thoroughly and place it in a pot. Set the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. When the water boils, add a pinch of salt and a little MSG (optional).

Once the pork is cooked, discard the water. Rinse the pork again, then add enough water to cover the pork and boil it again.

When the pork is fully cooked, transfer it to a bowl of ice water and let it sit for a few minutes. Then remove the pork, slice it into bite-sized pieces, and place on a plate. (This helps the pork become firmer and keeps the skin from sticking together.)

SOUP: Place a pot on the stove and add a little cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground pork and sauté with salt and a little MSG (optional) to taste. Once the pork is cooked, add water to the pot (you can use boiling water or the pork boiling water from earlier) to suit your family's portion size.

When the water boils, add the potatoes and carrots. Season with more salt and MSG (optional) to taste. Keep the heat at medium. Cook until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Then pour the soup into a large bowl.

FRIED EGGS: Rinse a bowl with water before cracking the eggs into it. Add salt, MSG (optional), and pepper, then beat well.

Heat a pan and add a little oil. Wait until the oil is hot.

Pour in the eggs and stir gently in the pan. When the eggs start to set, wait a few minutes, then fold the eggs in half. Flip back and forth until the eggs are fully cooked, then transfer to a plate.
