Pro Tip
- Remove any scum from your broth by using a small mesh strainer. Place a bowl of water nearby and skim the scum with the strainer, then submerge the strainer in the water to easily discard it.
- Do not be afraid to put a good char on your onions and ginger. Along as it does not smell burnt, adding more char gives you more flavor.
- Taste the broth throughout its cooking. This way you will have a better idea of how much fish sauce and salt you want.
