Notes

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness
  • Swap sriracha with chili garlic sauce or sambal oelek
  • Add miso paste for deeper umami

Make-Ahead

  • Prepare broth ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days
  • Cook noodles fresh before serving to avoid sogginess

Serving Variations

  • Add tofu, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition
  • Top with soft-boiled eggs instead of poached

Avoid Mistakes

  • Don’t overcook noodles—they soften quickly
  • Blend hot liquids carefully to avoid spills
