Cooking tips 💡

• Microwaving the soup anchovies for 20 seconds before adding them helps evaporate moisture and the fishy smell, resulting in a cleaner and more savory broth.
• When washing river snails, rubbing them with a mixture of flour and sea salt creates an adsorption effect that perfectly eliminates any earthy or fishy odors.
• Removing the potato starch and adding it first ensures the broth remains clear and refreshing; since potatoes are firm, they need to cook earlier to be evenly done.
