Note

Lily flowers are traditional in some Asian noodle soups for their delicate crunch and floral note. If unavailable, you can omit them or substitute with thinly sliced bamboo shoots or water chestnuts for similar texture.

For best results, use a high-quality chicken broth. Homemade broth will yield the deepest flavor.

Add the rice vinegar to the broth at the very end to preserve its bright, acidic flavor. Adding it too early during heating can cause the flavor to dissipate.

This dish is best served immediately. The noodles will continue to absorb the broth and soften if left to sit.

You can adjust the saltiness to taste. If your chicken broth is already salted, reduce or omit the added salt.
