Tips from an expert home cook

  • Noodles – We cook with rice noodles, so that’s what we’ve used for the photos. Traditional egg noodles work great, too.
  • Cook noodles al dente – I recommend adding in your frozen peas and carrots when your noodles are cooked al dente because they will continue to soften in the broth once you’re done cooking.
  • Broth – Make sure to have some extra broth on hand if you prefer a more brothy soup. When the noodles cook, they soak up some of the broth, so you may find you want to add additional broth at the end.
