All in Noodles & Soups
Kimchi egg drop miso soup is a flavorful and comforting soup that combines the umami-rich flavor of miso with the tanginess of kimchi and the silky texture of beaten eggs. The eggs are added toward the end to create thin ribbons of egg throughout the soup. The result is a simple yet satisfying meal that’s both hearty and light.
Spicy miso ramen anyone? This spicy miso ramen features a silky-smooth broth that’s umami-rich with a mild kick from chili bean paste for some extra oomph.
If you're in need of a fridge and pantry clean-out recipe, these orange miso noodle bowls are it. They're packed with savory umami and tangy citrus. We topped our bowls with roasted broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and chicken but these bowls work with whatever veggies and protein you have on hand.
Canh chua cá is an iconic Vietnamese sweet and sour soup made with pineapples, tamarind, tomatoes, and catfish. It’s sweetened with pineapple and its sour component comes from tamarind.
One of my favorite ways to repurpose leftover duck? Make roast duck noodle soup! Tip: if you reheat the duck in an air fryer, the skin will come out extra crispy and the meat super moist, just as if it’s freshly roasted!
Nothing says fusion like birria ramen - tender, flavorful beef cooked in a robust, fiery blend of chiles and served over freshly cooked ramen.
No matter the time of the year, I’m always up for a good bowl of soup, especially if it has lemon in it. This cozy lemon chicken and rice soup is full of savory shredded chicken perfectly paired with lots of tart lemon juice and fresh dill. The best part is it’s so easy to make! I literally cannot put this down when I start eating and usually end up going for seconds.
These creamy egg noodles and meatballs are made with flavor-packed homemade meatballs smothered in savory, saucy goodness and served over egg noodles. So yummy!
This shrimp scampi is made with tender pan-seared shrimp in an incredibly delicious, yet insanely simple, garlicky bath of butter, olive oil, and splashes of white wine and lemon juice. What more could you ask for?
I don’t always make bò kho (Vietnamese braised beef stew) but it is always worth the time and effort when I do. Kho is the Vietnamese word for braise because you’re essentially braising the meat in this stew. The longer you cook it, the softer the meat becomes so you end up with mouthwatering, fall apart chunks of beef and tender carrots, loaded with fresh herbs (I like lots of cilantro and Thai basil, but feel free to leave either of them out if it’s not your thing) and aromatics all in a delicious broth. Every family has their own recipe for this dish. It’s incredibly satisfying and hard to mess up - if you can make stew, you can make bò kho. Traditionally, bò kho is served with warm baguette, but it transforms beautifully into a noodle soup or rice dish!
This versatile lemon chicken orzo soup is a one pot wonder loaded with lemony deliciousness. It's just about as comforting as it gets.
I had some udon, chicken, and baby bok choy in the fridge and was inspired to make this quick stir fry. Honestly, it was a great idea. The result - this super simple, super comforting, and deliciously saucy udon with chicken and baby bok choy.
