- Noodles — Cook the noodles separately to prevent them from becoming too soft in the soup.
- Bok Choy — Trim the ends of the bok choy and wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of chili oil or hot sauce to the soup.
- Customize the seafood selection based on your preferences and availability.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the soup and simmer until thickened.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bean sprouts or baby corn for added texture and flavor.
- Serve the soup with a side of crispy fried wonton strips for an extra crunch.
