No coming back

Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.

• The seasoning turns strong easily, so always taste and adjust at the end.
• If the starch isn't washed off the noodles, the broth turns cloudy.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• If the broth is too salty, add cold water or more ice. The ice thins it further as it melts, so it should taste slightly salty when you serve it.

Storage

Keep the broth refrigerated and eat the assembled noodles right away.
