Chinese style fish soup - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, absolutely! Fresh or dried egg noodles, ramen noodles, or even udon noodles would work well in this soup. Just adjust the cooking time according to the package instructions.
Definitely! Feel free to use any combination of fish, shrimp, and mussels that you enjoy or have on hand. You can also add other seafood like scallops or clams. If you're missing one ingredient, simply adjust the quantities of the others to your preference.
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Be aware that the noodles may absorb more liquid over time.
While you *can* freeze this soup, the noodles and seafood may change texture upon thawing. If you plan to freeze it, consider cooking the noodles separately and adding them only when reheating. Seafood tends to become a bit rubbery, but the flavor will remain. Freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
To make this soup vegetarian, omit the fish, shrimp, and mussels. Instead, add tofu, shiitake mushrooms, or other vegetables like bok choy or snow peas. Use a good quality vegetable broth and add a dash of seaweed flakes for a deeper, 'fishy' flavor.
Consider adding a piece of ginger or a star anise to the broth while it simmers for extra depth of flavor. A dash of sesame oil at the end can also add a nice aroma.
Yes, easily! The recipe calls for red pepper, which provides the heat. You can reduce the amount of red pepper, or omit it entirely if you prefer a milder soup. Alternatively, add a splash of chili oil or a few slices of fresh chili for extra spice.
