Ingredients

• 8 oz. thin rice noodles
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili paste or sriracha (adjust for spice level)
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spicy Garlic Noodle Soup

1. Start by cooking the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, chili paste, and red chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Add the cooked rice noodles to the broth and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove from heat and stir in half of the sliced green onions and half of the cilantro.
7. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining green onions and cilantro.

Tips for the Best Results

• Adjust the level of spice by varying the amount of chili paste or flakes.
• For a heartier soup, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
• Fresh herbs are key; don’t skip the cilantro for that fresh burst of flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker broth, simmer it a little longer to reduce the liquid.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a non-vegetarian version.
• Add vegetables like bok choy, spinach, or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
• For a creamy twist, stir in a splash of coconut milk before serving.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or garlic bread for dipping.
• A side salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Steamed dumplings or spring rolls for a delicious appetizer.
