Ingredient substitutions

Soybean sprouts
Mung bean sprouts are thinner and cook faster.
Anchovy broth
Vegetable broth works but is less marine; chicken broth is richer.
Garlic
Garlic powder works in a pinch but lacks fresh aroma.
Green onion
Chives or a small amount of leek can work, with a different flavor.
Salt
Soy sauce can add saltiness but also changes color and flavor.
