For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter. Keep the heat at medium and stir frequently. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
