Cooking tips

  • When making the broth, avoid high heat as it may cause a fishy odor from the dried anchovies. Maintaining a gentle simmer around 70°C is essential for a clean, rich flavor.
  • Boiling the noodles separately and rinsing them under cold water removes excess starch, preventing the broth from becoming thick or greasy—ensuring a clear, refreshing taste.
  • Warm the noodles in hot broth before serving so the dish stays warm longer and remains delicious until the last bite.
