Of course, sometimes adding broth may not necessarily taste good. It depends on what you are doing. Spicy fish, Malatang, boiled meat slices, etc. will all work. If it is boiled pork slices, there are chili, pepper, salt, sugar. When I make it, I don’t add soy sauce, and green onions. I don't really like bay leaves and cinnamon, you can add some if you like, but I still think it tastes better without them.

The Malatang is similar to this, except it doesn’t thicken it. If you don't like vegetables to be too bland, remember to blanch them in hot water, which will be better. The fish balls must be put in first. This makes the soup taste more fragrant.
