Note

For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.

If you prefer a creamier texture, you can add a splash of coconut milk at the end of cooking.

Feel free to customize the vegetable mix with any frozen or fresh vegetables you have on hand, such as bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to refresh the noodles.

Adjust the amount of jalapeño or red pepper flakes to suit your heat preference.
