Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Broth:
    In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth and water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.Add the minced garlic, ginger slices, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pot.Let the broth simmer for about 15-20 minutes to infuse the flavors. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Cook the Noodles:
    While the broth is simmering, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Create the Egg Ribbons:
    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon of water, and a pinch of salt.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to create a thin pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until set, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.Remove the egg pancake and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, roll it up and slice it into thin ribbons.
  • Assemble the Soup:
    Ladle the hot broth over the cooked noodles in serving bowls.Slowly pour the egg ribbons into the hot broth while gently stirring. The eggs will cook instantly and form delicate ribbons.Garnish the soup with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro leaves, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if desired).Serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
