Cooking tips

  • If you add the starch slurry all at once into boiling soup, it can clump together like rice cake, so be sure to reduce the heat to low, pour it in little by little in a circular motion, and stir quickly to succeed.
  • In addition to king oyster mushroom, you can use softly chewy enoki mushrooms or fragrant shiitake mushrooms sliced very thinly to double the textural appeal and elevate the dish.
  • Drizzling a little chili oil or sesame oil over the finished crab soup maximizes both the aroma and visual appeal, transforming it into a sophisticated late-night snack or drinking companion for adults.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a mild, comforting broth with a smooth, substantial mouthfeel, without the heaviness or grease of strongly seasoned soups.
  • Those looking for a special nutritious meal for kids that is non-spicy, highly nutritious, and easy to swallow without picky eating.
