Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz fresh or dried wheat noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground pork or chicken (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes adjust to taste
  • green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Medium skillet
  • Colander
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering everything you need. Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, chop the green onions, and measure out your sauces.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground pork or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Once the protein is cooked, stir in the garlic and ginger. Let them toast for about 30 seconds before pouring in the broth.
  4. Bring the broth to a gentle simmer and add soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  5. In a separate pot, boil water and cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain them well and divide them among serving bowls.
  6. Ladle the hot broth over the top of the noodles, ensuring each bowl gets plenty of goodness.
  7. Sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro over the bowls for a pop of color. Serve immediately while piping hot.

Notes

If you’re using fresh noodles, rinse them briefly under cold water to prevent sticking.
For a vegetarian version, swap meat for tofu or mushrooms. A teaspoon of miso paste can enhance the umami flavor of the broth.
Store leftovers with the broth and noodles in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
