    Stir in gochugaru and soy sauce until the broth turns deep red and fragrant, ~30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add ham and minced garlic, stirring to distribute evenly, and simmer for 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Gently crack eggs into the simmering broth and cover, cooking until whites set but yolks stay runny, about 3 minutes.

    Ladle soup into bowls and top with sliced scallions. Serve immediately.
