Instructions
Thaw the fatty beef in advance, crush and chop the garlic, cut green chili and red chili into rings, cut off the roots of enoki mushroom and wash clean.

Put the enoki mushroom in boiling water with a few drops of oil to blanch, drain the water and arrange in a bowl.
Pour a little oil into the wok, heat to 60% hot, add ginger slices and chopped garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add chili sauce and stir-fry for one minute, add broth and cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat.
If you can't handle spicy but want golden yellow soup, you can steam a small piece of pumpkin, puree it in a food processor, then add it to the soup to make a golden sour soup.
Use a strainer to filter out the residue from the wok and discard, add fatty beef slices, add salt and sugar, bring to a boil, also filter out the foam with a strainer.
After the fatty beef is cooked, drizzle with white vinegar, turn off the heat, pour it into the plate with enoki mushroom.
Sprinkle green chili and red chili rings on the surface for garnish, finally heat a little oil and drizzle over the chili rings.

- If you can't handle spicy but want golden yellow soup, you can steam a small piece of pumpkin, puree it in a food processor, then add it to the soup to make a golden sour soup.
- Besides enoki mushrooms, you can also add konjac noodles, bamboo shoots strips, etc. to the plate. All need to be blanched in boiling water first.
- Fatty beef slices should be blanched until just cooked, don't cook for too long, as the meat will become tough and hard to chew.
- The chili sauce itself is salty, so you don't need too much salt (you can taste while adding, once the flavor is enough, stop adding salt). Finally, drizzle a little white vinegar before serving to make the sour taste more prominent.
- If you don't have broth, you can also use clear water as a substitute.
