  9. Season with salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Adjust to taste.

Notes

  • Cook noodles separately if storing leftovers to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • Add spinach or bok choy for extra greens.
  • Use rice noodles for a different texture.
  • Freeze without noodles and add fresh ones when reheating.
  • Fresh ginger provides the best flavor, but ground ginger can be substituted in smaller amounts.
