From the kitchen of Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe

Ingredients	Quantity
Carrots	As needed (sliced)
Chinese cabbage (Napa cabbage)	As needed (chopped)

Eggs	1 (beaten)
Garlic	3 cloves (finely chopped)
Oyster sauce	1 tablespoon
Water	As needed
Ground white pepper	To taste
Sugar	To taste
Salt	To taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables
   Wash all vegetables thoroughly under running water. Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally. Chop the Chinese cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Garlic
   In a medium pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Cook the Vegetables
   Pour in enough water to make the soup base. Once the water begins to simmer, add the broccoli first. Let it cook until it reaches half-done consistency. Next, add the carrot slices and cook until they start to soften. Finally, add the Chinese cabbage and stir for a minute or two. Do not overcook—keep the vegetables crisp yet tender.
4. Add Egg and Seasonings
   Gently pour the beaten egg into the pot while stirring slowly to create soft egg ribbons. Then, stir in the oyster sauce, ground pepper, sugar, salt, and broth powder. Mix well and taste the broth. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
5. Final Touch
   Let the soup simmer for another minute to allow all the flavors to blend. Turn off the heat and serve the Capcay Kuah hot in individual bowls.
