Notes
You may use vegetable broth instead of water. In that case leave out garlic and ginger powder because vegetable broth usually has those ingredients in them already. You may completely skip oil in this recipe. In this case if you use water. Boil water and add all the ingredients in it. If you use vegetable broth add the ingredients in it.
