Cooking tips 💡

• Applying the 'soy sauce blooming' technique—sautéing soy sauce in hot oil—brings deep, a deeper roasted aroma even to store-bought broth.
• Peanut butter does not dissolve in cold broth, so always dissolve it in warm water before use to ensure a smooth, creamy sauce.
• If store-bought cold noodle broth is unavailable, create a quick substitute by mixing 3 teaspoons sugar, 5 teaspoons vinegar, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and either beef or chicken bouillon powder in 200ml water, then bring to a boil.
