Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) rice noodles or wheat noodles, cooked
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup baby spinach
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional)
Garnish:
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Warm a spacious cooking vessel with sesame oil over moderate flame, releasing aromatic essences of minced ginger and crushed garlic for approximately 90 seconds until intensely fragrant.
- Introduce vegetable broth, complemented by soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili paste, bringing the liquid to a gentle rolling boil.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms and julienned carrots, reducing temperature to a soft simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing vegetables to tenderize while absorbing surrounding flavors.
- Gently fold fresh spinach leaves into the simmering liquid, enabling them to delicately wilt and integrate within the broth’s warmth.
- Taste and calibrate seasoning, adjusting with additional condiments to achieve balanced flavor profile.
- Distribute prepared noodles evenly across serving vessels, cascading the piping hot, vegetable-laden broth directly over them.
- Finalize the dish with a sprinkle of thinly sliced green onions and a delicate dusting of toasted sesame seeds, presenting a visually appealing and aromatic meal.
Notes
- Enhance the broth’s depth by toasting whole spices like star anise or coriander seeds before adding liquid for an extra aromatic layer.
- use rice noodles for gluten-free, zucchini noodles for low-carb, or whole wheat noodles for added fiber.
- Boost protein content by adding soft tofu, shredded chicken, or poached eggs directly into the simmering broth for a more substantial meal.
- Elevate the heat level by adding fresh sliced chilies, increasing chili paste, or drizzling with spicy chili oil for those who enjoy more kick.
