Notes

Use high-quality broth for the best flavor and don't skip the sesame oil as it adds a wonderful nutty undertone. Experiment with different types of onions, such as red or shallots, for a unique twist. For a vegetarian version, use kombu to enhance the broth and skip any animal products. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for an extra flavor boost. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve flavors.
