Shiitake mushrooms — Slice the mushrooms thinly to ensure they cook evenly and add a rich, savory flavor to the broth.
Bok choy — Chop the bok choy into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to eat and ensure it cooks evenly.
Soft boiled eggs — Cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes to ensure the yolks are still runny.

Customize the toppings to your liking by adding sliced tofu, corn, or sliced jalapenos.
Use low-sodium vegetable broth to reduce the overall sodium content of the dish.
To make the dish spicier, add more chili oil or red pepper flakes.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
