This luffa soup with egg is one of my comfort foods. It's the best when my mom makes it. Somehow, everything my mom cooks always tastes better 😁. When I'm not feeling well, I love eating this vegetable dish. It feels warm and comforting. It's easy to make, quick, and delicious. My kids love it too. I happened to get some young and fresh luffa, which makes it taste even better.

Steps

15 minutes

1

Peel the luffa, wash, and cut into pieces.
2

Heat oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add the egg and stir-fry with the garlic to avoid a fishy smell. I don't like adding the egg later without stir-frying; it smells fishy. But if you stir-fry the egg first, the broth won't smell fishy.
3

Add enough water and the luffa. Season with salt and sugar to taste. Bring to a boil. Don't cook too long to prevent the luffa from becoming too soft. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat.
