Ho Fun Soup - Abalone & Chicken Flavor, a classic flavor of southern coastal Chinese cuisines. It has a refined onion chicken flavor with a seafare taste from the Wakame seaweed and abalone extract flavor with a mild sweet note.

Abalone extract flavor does not have that fresh shellfish taste, but it’s used as a flavor enhancer to add an almost meaty quality with a slightly carmelized sweet note to dishes like the classic oyster sauce used in Chinese cooking. It reduces the gaminess of chicken flavor while adding a rich flavor note.

While the soup looked rich and oily on top, because of the fat-free rice noodles, the actual amount of fat in the soup is relatively low at 3g or 5% daily value. The “vermicelles” Ho Fun noodles are smaller than the ones served in restaurant.
