How to use this guide

Choose one soup rather than cooking all three. Soup soy sauce and green onions work across the set. Finish rice cake soup close to serving so the cakes do not become overly soft.

What changes and what to check

No chili does not mean low sodium. Add soy sauce and salt gradually and serve any chili paste or kimchi separately.
