So Delicious! Tried several other recipes but this is the best tasting BROTH; not salty or bland. Thank you!! Love that it tastes yum with your favorite garnishes. I added boiled egg, yellow/orange/red bell pepper, red & green onion, and my fav fried vege fishcake.

Excellent easy recipe! Doesn't seem at all like local, but is very healthy.

Delicious! Super easy weeknight dinner that I can prep ahead. Sauce was on point! Will definitely add this dish to our dinner rotation.
