Notes

Pro Tips & Tasty Tweaks:
  • Flavor Swap: Add a teaspoon of chili paste or sriracha to the broth for spicy shrimp noodles that’ll warm you right up.
  • Diet Tweaks: Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version, or swap shrimp for tofu if you prefer.
  • Texture Fix: For extra crunch, toss in some crushed peanuts or sesame seeds right before serving.
  • Storage Tip: Keep broth and noodles separate until ready to eat—this prevents sogginess. Reheat broth gently on the stove.
