Cooking tips 💡

  • Sautéing the ham in oil before boiling enhances the broth’s savoriness and depth of flavor.
  • Feel free to add dumplings, cheese, or mushrooms based on personal preference.
  • When adding ramen noodles, since they absorb a lot of broth, it's recommended to boil them separately and add only the noodles to the stew.
