Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust for spice level)

• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spicy Noodle Soup with Vegetables

1. Start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the soy sauce and chili paste, stirring to combine.
4. Once the broth is simmering, add the broccoli and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Stir in the bok choy and cooked noodles, allowing them to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
7. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil just before serving.
• Make sure to adjust the amount of chili paste according to your spice preference.
• Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and taste; frozen can become mushy in soup.
• If you have time, let the soup sit for a few minutes off the heat to allow the flavors to meld.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the rice noodles for udon or soba noodles for a different texture.
• Add protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a heartier meal.
• Experiment with different vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, or mushrooms.
• Make it creamy by adding a splash of coconut milk.

What to Serve With It

• A side of spring rolls for a crunchy contrast.
• Steamed dumplings to complement the flavors.
• A fresh salad with sesame dressing for a light side.
• Crispy wontons for added crunch.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the soup, as the noodles may absorb liquid. Heat in a pot over medium heat until warmed through.
