Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • Chewy wheat noodles or silky rice noodles (quantity per serving, e.g., 4 oz)

Chili Crisp Oil

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons chili crisp oil (adjust to taste)

Broth and Aromatics

  • 4 cups chicken, vegetable, or beef broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 1 cup bok choy or mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Optional: fresh cilantro, lime wedges, toasted sesame seeds

Optional Proteins

  • Tofu cubes, shredded chicken, or thinly sliced beef (amount per preference)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: Heat your chosen broth in a pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, then simmer gently to infuse the broth with aromatic flavors while preparing other ingredients.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Boil the noodles separately according to package instructions until tender but still chewy. Drain well and set aside to prevent sogginess in the soup.
  3. Combine Soup Components: Add soy sauce to the simmering broth, then include your selected vegetables and proteins. Cook until vegetables are tender and proteins are heated through.
  4. Assemble the Soup: Divide the cooked noodles evenly into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth with vegetables and proteins over the noodles. Spoon generous amounts of chili crisp on top to add signature heat and crunch.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh green onions, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest and most vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic and ginger rather than powders for a more vibrant broth.
  • Choose a high-quality chili crisp brand or make your own for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cooking noodles separately helps prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add chili crisp oil only right before serving to keep its crunch.
  • Taste the broth before serving and adjust saltiness or acidity with soy sauce or vinegar as needed.
