Why This Recipe Is So Good
Full of fresh, vibrant flavors that come together quickly for a satisfying meal. It’s balanced with crunchy veggies, tender noodles, and a savory sauce that makes every bite enjoyable. Plus, it’s easy to customize based on what you have on hand.
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook them just until they’re tender but still have a bit of bite—this usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the noodles and divide them between four big soup bowls.
Step 2
Grab a saucepan and combine the vegetable stock, soy sauce, grated ginger, chile sauce, and minced garlic. Heat it over medium until it starts to gently simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes so all those flavors can meld together and become fragrant.
Step 3
While the broth is simmering, squeeze the spinach to get rid of any extra water, then roughly chop it. Toss the spinach into the simmering broth along with the soybeans and sliced red bell pepper. Let everything heat through for another minute or so.
Step 4
Finally, ladle the hot veggie broth over the noodles in each bowl, and you’re ready to enjoy!
