Brothy Chinese Noodles

Print Recipe

Brothy Chinese Noodles recipe is inspired by Chinese Dan Dan noodles—ground meat and noodles in a spicy broth. Use toasted sesame oil instead if you want mild noodles. This is a very comforting dish.

A great Chinese noodle soup is a simple affair. All it requires is a great broth infused with fresh garlic and ginger flavors. It’s quick and easy. It is very customary to slurp as you eat, using oversized spoons to drag the noodles up to your mouth. You might need a bib, but you will have fun! Serious comfort food that warms the soul.

    • Comments

    • This was a-mazing. A lot of flavour and very little prep and cooking time. Makes you feel warm inside. Tasty, delicious and satisfying, yet light. This seriously picked me up!” -Emma
    • “This really was delicious. I used ramen noodles from a pack, I think any kind of noodles, even angel hair pasta would work well. I love bok choy but don’t usually buy it to fix just as a veggie. Now I have an excellent reason!” -Judith
    • “OMG! Thank you for this recipe, it is sooooo good! I couldn’t help myself and had a second bowl.” -Bonnie
