Tips:
I did not indicate the standard amount of seasoning, because everyone’s tastes are different, and the requirements for sour, sweet, salty and spicy are different, so it’s best to add seasonings while tasting. This is more in line with personal tastes. I personally prefer sweet and sour. It's heavier, my kid likes it lighter, so every time I make the soup, I add some sugar and vinegar to my bowl.
