Ingredient substitutions
Beef broth
- Water: Use only if needed and season more carefully with soy sauce and salt.
Onion
- Vegetable: Use extra sliced mild vegetable if onion is not desired.
Soy sauce
- Salt: Use only for seasoning strength because it will not add fermented depth.
Sesame oil
- Vegetable oil: Use only when sesame must be avoided because the nutty aroma will be milder.
Salt
- Soy sauce: Add in small amounts and taste because soy sauce also darkens the broth.
