Replacement Tips
Sui Mi Ya Cai () is preserved and minced mustard green. It has a crunchy texture, a nice fermented flavor, and an umami taste. By the way, if you don't have access to Yacai, you can use some finely diced kimchi or other pickles.
Alkaline Noodles take a lot of effort to make. If you don't have time, fresh egg noodles or ramen noodles are great replacements.
