Servings: 2
Ingredients: For the noodles:
- 124 g of eggs (approximately 2 large eggs)
- 130 g of potato starch
- 2 pinches of salt
For the broth:
- 1000 ml of chicken broth (vegetable, seafood, or beef can also be used)
- Zucchini, sliced
- Onion, thinly sliced
- Carrot, julienned
- 4 g (1 teaspoon) of salt
For the starch water:
- 10 g (1 tablespoon) of starch powder
- 40 g (5 tablespoons) of water
For the meat topping:
- 100 g of ground pork
- 4 g (½ teaspoon) of minced garlic
- 10 g (1 tablespoon) of soy sauce
- 4 g (1 tablespoon) of chili pepper (paprika powder can be used as an alternative)
For the garnish:
- Green chili pepper (optional), sliced
- Green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of ground sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
Cooking Tips:
- Adding a meat topping and stirring well enhances the flavor of the soup.
- Chicken or mushrooms can be used instead of pork.
- Flour and cornstarch are not recommended for the noodles as they can become tough.
Preparation Method:
- For the noodles, beat the eggs and mix with potato starch and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms. Roll out the dough and cut into thin strips. Boil until cooked through, then rinse under cold water and set aside.
- Prepare the broth by bringing the chicken broth to a simmer and adding the sliced zucchini, onion, and carrot. Season with salt.
- For the starch water, dissolve 1 tablespoon of starch powder in 5 tablespoons of water and add to the broth to thicken slightly.
- For the meat topping, mix the ground pork with minced garlic, soy sauce, and chili pepper. Cook in a pan until well done.
- Assemble the soup by placing the cooked noodles into bowls, pouring the hot broth and vegetables over them, and topping with the cooked meat.
- Garnish with sliced green chili pepper, green onion, ground sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil.
Serving: Serve the noodle soup hot, ensuring each bowl has a good mix of noodles, broth, vegetables, meat, and garnishes. Enjoy a warm and comforting meal!
