Substitutions

STOCK:

use homemade stock or any kind of broth, they’re interchangeable here. If not a vegetarian, use chicken stock
SHALLOT:

a quarter of any color onion or green onion will work
GREEN BEANS:

use what you like or have, anything from leafy greens like spinach or cabbage to asparagus, snap peas, or frozen corn
WONTONS:

use any flavor you like. I find pot stickers more often which are perfect. If you can’t find anything Asian, try meat or veggie ravioli or tortellini, just look for a flavor without much cheese in it
STAR ANISE:

instead you could whisk in 1 teaspoon of miso. Or use 1 clove in the stock. If you completely omit this it will still taste ok!
