Notes
- Don’t let noodles sit in the soup too long, or they’ll absorb too much liquid and thicken it. Add them just before serving and undercook slightly.
- You can swap chicken broth with vegetable one for a vegetarian version. Also feel free to add your choice of protein and/or fresh vegetables.
- You can also garnish with a soft-boiled egg, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, fried shallots, chopped peanuts, or a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
