Q: Can I use another type of broth instead of the abalone flavored chicken sauce?
A: Yes, you can substitute it with your preferred broth or a simple chicken or vegetable stock.
Q: What can I use if I don’t have golden needle mushrooms?
A: You can replace golden needle mushrooms with shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a similar texture and flavor.
Q: Is it necessary to fry the carrots first?
A: Frying the carrots first helps to bring out their sweetness and adds depth to the soup’s flavor, but you can also add them directly to the boiling water if you prefer a simpler method.
