Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the dried egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Drain the noodles and set aside, reserving a small cup of the cooking water if needed for thinning the sauce later.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken stock cube with 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  4. Add the cut ginger pieces to the simmering broth and let it infuse for 3-4 minutes to release its aroma.
  5. Stir in the rinsed corn kernels and halved green beans, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the beans are tender-crisp.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fish sauce and thinly sliced fresh red chili.
  7. Simmer gently for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the thinly sliced green onions.
  9. Serve the hot sauce immediately over the cooked egg noodles, ensuring each portion gets a generous share of vegetables and broth.
