The Original Soup Base is characterized by its savory, umami-rich, and slightly sweet flavor profile. It provides a balanced backdrop that enhances the taste of various ingredients cooked within it.
The broth typically features a base of pork or chicken bones, simmered for hours to extract maximum flavor and collagen. Aromatic ingredients such as ginger, scallions, and white peppercorns are added to create depth and complexity. Some recipes may also include dried shiitake mushrooms for umami or jujubes (red dates) for a subtle sweetness. The final flavor is clean, clear, and comforting, designed to highlight the freshness of the added ingredients.

Choose a variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients that complement the broth's flavor. Consider thinly sliced meats (beef, lamb, pork), seafood (shrimp, fish balls), vegetables (napa cabbage, mushrooms, spinach), and tofu products.
Dipping Sauces
Prepare a selection of dipping sauces to complement the broth and ingredients. Popular options include soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, minced garlic, and green onions.
