Comforting Noodle Soup
I decided to make a comforting noodle soup for lunch today with the ingredients available in the fridge. Later tonight, when it’s morning in China, I’ll give my family a call. It’s been a while since I last talked to my mom. I want to tell my parents that I miss them and I miss her noodle soup.
Here is the recipe for this dish, hope you guys find it helpful. Feel free to replace some of the ingredients I used below with what’s available at your hand. I like this dish to be a free-style noodle soup that’s easy for everyone to make at home.
To make a nutrition balanced meal, as well as a tasty soup base, for the main ingredients of this dish; I choose to use a small bunch of spinach, some oyster mushrooms (they’ll help release great flavors to the soup and I love the texture of the mushrooms), a couple of chicken meatballs. I used a Japanese-style Somen Noodle for this dish, it’s very soft and takes only a couple of minutes to cook.
Other than freshly chopped green onion, I also threw some fried onion for topping to add flavor for my noodle, but this is totally optional. 
Below is a overview of how to make this dish. The total time needed is about 25 minutes.
I hope you enjoy making this comforting noodle soup at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
