For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth. Adjust the amount of chile sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have citric acid, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can be used as a substitute. Serve with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a more substantial meal. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, or water chestnuts.
