Note

Ensure the soup does not boil vigorously after adding the beancurd to prevent it from breaking apart.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the water with vegetable broth or dashi stock.

This soup tastes best served immediately while hot. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, though the beancurd may become softer.

Adjust the salt to taste depending on the desired level of seasoning.
