Tips for cooking

We used a heat-resistant container with a capacity of 200ml (3/4 cup + 1.5 Tbs). Heating conditions may vary depending on the type of microwave, the type of heat-resistant container, and the condition of the ingredients. Please check the condition and adjust the heating time as necessary. For senior citizens, children under the age of 2, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems, please avoid eating raw eggs. Please mix the starch with water at the ratio of 1:2. Adjust the amount accordingly to the thickness of your liking.
