Symfony routing API problems

I am coding an API to improve my personnal PHP skills. I have a problem with 2 routes :

recette.recetteById:
   path: /api/recette/{id}
   controller: App\Controller\RecetteController::recetteById

recette.subRecette:
  path: /api/recette/sub-recette
  controller: App\Controller\RecetteController::subRecette

When I go to /api/recette/sub-recette it shows me the return of my recetteById function instead of subRecette, it seems that /sub-recette is used as /{id}.

My recetteById is just a function that returns the id as json, so when I go to /api/recette/sub-recette it show sub-recette. Why the route doesn't call my subRecette function?

What do I have to do to call subRecette function when I go /api/recette/sub-recette

recetteByID :

public function recetteById($id) {
  return $this->json($id);
}

After editing the question and reading it more closely, I see what the issue is.

The routing works by the principle first match wins. To it, the sub-recette looks a lot like a perfectly valid ID.

In order to circumvent this, if your ID is, say, number, you could do:

recette.recetteById:
    path: /api/recette/{id}
    requirements: 
        id: '\d+'
    controller: App\Controller\RecetteController::recetteById

Another way to achieve this is to put subRecette before recetteById but this is error-prone.
