Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

• 1 tablespoon chili paste (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 8 ounces rice noodles
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sliced green onions, divided
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Salt, to taste
• Optional: sliced vegetables (like bell peppers or bok choy)

How to Make Spicy Noodle Soup with Egg

1. In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, soy sauce, chili paste, and sesame oil. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Once the broth is simmering, add any sliced vegetables you want to include, and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until tender.
4. Carefully lower the eggs into a separate pot of boiling water. Cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft-cooked egg. Remove and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel and set aside.
5. Add the cooked noodles to the simmering broth and stir to combine. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
6. Season the soup with salt, adjusting to your taste. Ladle the soup into bowls.
7. Top each bowl with a soft-cooked egg, sliced in half to reveal the runny yolk. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Noodle Soup!

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of fish sauce to the broth.
• Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of chili paste.
• If you prefer a thicker broth, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) to the simmering broth and stir until thickened.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the rice noodles with ramen or udon for a different texture.
• Add proteins like shredded chicken, tofu, or shrimp for a heartier meal.
• Include more vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or carrots for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• A side of steamed dumplings for a complete Asian-inspired meal.
• Fresh spring rolls for a light and refreshing addition.
• A simple green salad with sesame dressing to complement the flavors.
