Tips:
Do not cook seafood for too long, so as not to cook too much.
The water starch is blended in stages until you can add salted egg yolk or crab powder to the consistency you like. The taste is better. The chicken soup cubes can not be replaced by chicken powder, and the taste is slightly different.
