Notes

  • Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • Add shredded chicken, tofu, or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Bok choy, snap peas, or bell peppers make excellent vegetable additions.
  • For extra heat, add chili oil, sriracha, or red pepper flakes.
  • A splash of coconut milk creates a richer, creamier broth.
  • Store noodles separately from the broth when possible to maintain texture.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze the broth without noodles for up to 3 months.
  • Add fresh lime juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
