Garlic Ginger Soup With Noodles
Garlic Ginger Soup With Noodles combines a fragrant broth made from aromatics like ginger, garlic, onion, carrot, and celery with tofu cubes and rice noodles for a comforting, spicy meal. The broth has a bright acidity from lemon juice balanced with hot sauce, giving the soup a layered flavor and warming spice. The dish is hearty yet light and can be adjusted for oil-free preferences.

Notes
- Use ¼ cup vegetable broth instead of oil for an oil-free version, noting tofu won’t crisp as much.
- Broil ginger and garlic slightly before cooking to deepen the broth flavor.
- Peel ginger easily by scraping with a spoon.
- Flavors intensify after resting; the soup tastes better the next day.
