  • If you can't find daikon radish, you can substitute it with white radish.
  • To make the soup more spicy, add some finely chopped chili peppers or a teaspoon of chili paste.
  • If you don't like shrimp, you can substitute it with chicken or pork.
  • For a vegan version of the soup, omit the shrimp and add more vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. It's also delicious served hot, but be sure to let it cool slightly before serving so that the shrimp doesn't overcook.
