- Tempura bits — If you can't find pre-made tempura bits, you can make your own by frying small pieces of tempura batter until crispy.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can garnish the dish with grated ginger or sesame seeds.
- If you prefer a spicier broth, add a few drops of chili oil or shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice).
- Feel free to customize the toppings by adding sliced mushrooms, seaweed, or a soft-boiled egg.
