Notes

Expert Tips
  • Use Extra Soft Tofu that comes in a tube for the silky texture.
  • Crack an egg at the end and mix in the yolk for extra creamy soft tofu soup. It also helps with the spiciness of the broth.
  • Add in extra seafood like shrimp or mussels for extra flavor. Keep in mind it takes longer to cook, but will be worth it for the delicious umami flavor.
