Quick noodles

Over the Chinese New Year weekend, I had originally wanted to make noodles from scratch. But once I found noodles from China Block, I decided to skip the idea all together.

Here's a simple and quick soup noodle recipe. You can use any kind of noodle for this, just follow the cooking instructions on your noodle package to avoid over/under cooking noodles. I had used a thin noodle so it didn't take very long.

Ingredients:

• noodle
• chicken broth (as many cans as needed)
• water (optional, I used this to dillute the real salty broth)
• ginger (fresh or powder)
• scallion (chopped up to small bits)
• garlic (optional)
• cilantro (cut into small sections)
• seseme oil

Directions:

1. Cook the noodle, drain out the water, set aside.
2. Make the soup in a pot, adding broth, water, and all the fresh herbs and spices into it. Do not add scallion or cilantro until you have a boiling soup, since those ingredients tend to overcook.
3. Serve soup in bowls, adding a bit of noodle and seseme oil in each.
4. sprinkle chopped scallion and cilantro for effect and freshness. Or you can put the chopped scallion and cilantro pieces in a small serving dish for your guests to add on their own.
5. Enjoy the food!
