‘Noodle soup’ comes in a variety of flavors in Asia. More of a noodle dish than a soup dish, noodle soup. On a chilly day, this one makes a fantastic comfort dish. additionally healthy and light. Numbers are subjective. Adapt to personal preference. The shallots must be added since they provide the flavor and fragrance. I occasionally substitute macaroni for egg noodles. In addition, soy sauce can be used in place of salt. If you’re feeling daring, spice up the soup with some cayenne pepper or some chopped hot peppers.

A great soup that can be tweaked to your liking. The blanching of the bean sprouts is not necessary, just top the soup with the sprouts for some crunchy goodness. Add some Sriracha and you’ve got a winner.
Very tasty. Can’t go wrong with these basic ingredients and you can always adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.
Terrible, didn’t enjoy this one at all. Steer clear of this one.
