- 2 onions
- 2 potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 2 jin (1 kg) meat

### Notes

- Steps 1-6 can be done during the waiting process of 2-5; during this time, you can also boil some vegetables in a water pot or make a fried egg.
- Between 2-5 and 2-6, pay attention to the boiling water level; if it is found to be lower than 2/3 of the ingredients, add hot water to cover the ingredients.
