    This Chinese noodle soup recipe is super easy and quick. It is an excellent idea for a quick dinner in a busy night or for a late-night snack. No need to stir fry or saute, only one-pot to cook the noodles. Additionally, it doesn't need complex ingredients. Only those ones that you can easily find in your pantry.
