Each soup simmers inside its own small clay pot rather than a shared cauldron, so a stall can have dozens of different soups cooking side by side.

A pork bone broth is slow-simmered for hours inside small, individual clay pots with add-ins like lotus root, seaweed, pear, or egg, producing a concentrated soup.

Why it's made this way: Cooking each portion separately in its own vessel preserves a cleaner flavor, and the single-serving format suited street breakfast culture.
