3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp chili paste (optional for heat)

1 cup sliced mushrooms

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup baby spinach

200g rice noodles (or any noodle of your choice)

Green onions, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth:

    • Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add grated ginger and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. Add the Broth:

    • Pour in the vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and optional chili paste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

  3. Cook the Noodles:

    • While the broth is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  4. Add the Vegetables:

    • Stir in the mushrooms, carrots, and spinach. Let them cook in the broth for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.

  5. Combine Noodles and Broth:

    • Add the cooked noodles to the pot, stirring gently to combine. Let the noodles soak in the broth for a few minutes to absorb the flavor.
