Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to taste)
  • 120g fresh or dried noodles (ramen, udon, or thin wheat noodles)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Optional Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1 cup baby bok choy or spinach (optional)

Optional Protein & Toppings

  • Shredded chicken, tofu cubes, or soft-boiled egg (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, or fried garlic (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth Base: Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a pot over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and ginger, letting them simmer gently to release their fragrance and infuse the broth with a savory depth.
  2. Cook the Noodles: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook your chosen noodles according to package instructions. Cook until tender yet still chewy (al dente). Drain and set aside.
  3. Combine and Season: When the broth is hot and aromatic, stir in soy sauce for umami flavor. Season with salt to taste. Add sliced vegetables if using and let them soften slightly in the simmering broth.
  4. Assemble the Soup: Divide the cooked noodles evenly into serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth along with the vegetables over the noodles. Generously spoon chili crisp on top to infuse the soup with its signature spicy crunch.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and any additional desired toppings over the soup. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of spicy, savory, and fresh flavors.

Notes

  • Choose a quality chili crisp with balanced spice and crispy bits for best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook noodles; keep them al dente to avoid mushiness in the soup.
  • Simmer garlic and ginger gently to preserve their delicate aroma without burning.
  • Add chili crisp incrementally to adjust spice according to your heat preference.
  • Optional fresh herbs like cilantro or basil brighten the soup and add freshness.
  • Store noodles separately from broth to prevent sogginess if making ahead or saving leftovers.
