  • a handful of noodles
  • 1 chicken Bouillon cube

  5. Add in water and Buillon cube, bring to boil, then bring to simmer
  6. Add in noodles, cook as instructed
  7. Add in baby bok choy, cook until slightly softened

Comments

The cook time is surprisingly short, and the homely taste is great for a comfort meal.

It’s very easy to make a lot of this dish, and it’s tempting to meal prep it. While it certainly can work when mealprepped, the noodles will likely soak up a lot of the liquid and become less chewy as a result, making the 2nd eating experience significantly worse than the first.

Comments

I experimented with mixing together different type of chilis, to great success. They usually complement each other in taste. Would recommend.

One can easily sub out the tofu for chicken or other protein source to make this into a meat dish.
