Today we’re sharing a really fun and different meal idea – a make-your-own Asian Noodle Soup!
The idea behind this recipe is similar to other ‘make-your-own’ types of meals where you provide your dinner guests with a variety of delicious noodles, sauces, vegetables and other toppings. Then each person can combine their favorite ingredients into their idea of the perfect Asian noodle soup!
This recipe uses our Asian chicken stock as the base and its flavor profile is just perfect for this meal. The delicate stock can be flavored with soy sauce, chili paste, fish sauce or any other favorite condiment. Then a delicious array of fresh vegetables, noodles, and meats, seafood or eggs can be added to complete the meal.
What’s also great about this meal is that all of the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time and then assembled very quickly to feed your crowd. It’s a simple idea and a different twist on a ‘make your own’ meal that we’re sure your family and friends will love!

I used regular chicken broth and ALL the topping suggestions except the hard-boiled egg and cilantro (not a fan). It was delicious! The flavor of the sunny side-up egg really pulled the dish together. Will attempt to feed this to my very picky Chinese mother. 🙂
