Critical Success Points
- • Soaking the vermicelli so they are pliable but not soggy.
- • Proper rehydration of black mushrooms to achieve a pleasant texture.
- • Bring the broth to a boil and season before adding the meatballs.
- • Form uniformly sized meatballs for even cooking.
- • Precise cooking of meatballs (6‑7 min) so they stay tender and don’t fall apart.

Safety Warnings
- • Be careful of boiling water splashes when dropping the meatballs.
- • Use the knife cautiously when chopping chicken and ginger.
- • Spicy oil is very hot; avoid contact with skin.
