- 6 spring onions, sliced
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 2 inches ginger, peeled and grated
Proteins and Noodles:
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) egg noodles

- 1.8 liters (61 fluid ounces) vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon light muscovado sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Chopped coriander
Instructions
- Heat vegetable stock in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil at medium-high temperature.
- Incorporate aromatic seasonings including ginger, spring onions, chili, sugar, five-spice powder, soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Reduce heat and allow mixture to gently simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Introduce rice noodles and sliced mushrooms into the simmering broth. Continue cooking for approximately 3-4 minutes until noodles become tender and mushrooms soften.

- Remove pot from heat and transfer soup into serving bowls. Garnish generously with freshly chopped coriander leaves for a vibrant, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Opt for low-sodium stock to control salt intake and enhance health benefits.
- Slice vegetables thinly to ensure quick and even cooking throughout the soup.
- Swap traditional noodles with gluten-free or zucchini noodles for a lighter alternative that accommodates dietary restrictions.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting chili quantity, making the soup adaptable for different spice tolerances.
