10 Minute Thai Noodle Soup
Description
This Thai noodle soup starts by gently cooking sesame oil with diced shallots, crushed garlic, and grated fresh ginger to build a fragrant base. Marinated tofu pieces, chopped pak choi, and sliced shiitake mushrooms are added and quickly cooked, preserving their texture and freshness.
Vegetable stock and brown rice noodles are poured in, simmering just long enough to tenderize the noodles and meld flavors. The soup is served garnished with sliced spring onions and optional red chili flakes for added heat.
Versatile in nature, this dish can adapt to different proteins or noodles, and adjust broth quantity for a more or less soupy result. Fresh herbs like coriander or a squeeze of lime can refresh the flavor before serving, making it a practical and flexible meal option.
Notes advise reducing broth for a noodle-forward dish, adjusting chili to taste, substituting vegetables, or proteins like king prawns or cooked shredded chicken. A lime squeeze brightens the final bowl as desired.
