Sarah’s Tips:

• Make it gluten-free: Use rice noodles or GF ramen.

• Add protein: Toss in cooked chicken, tofu, or edamame for a fuller meal.

• Milder version: Start with 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce and adjust after tasting.

• Meal prep tip: Store broth and noodles separately to avoid sogginess when reheating.
