No matter rain or shine, I always welcome a bowl of hot soup noodles. And this is the one I often make at home in less than 30 minutes.
When I go to Cha Chaan Teng (茶餐廳), a Hong Kong local restaurant, to have soup noodles, I usually don’t drink the soup since it’s too salty.
Cook it yourself is different. You know what seasoning is added, so you can eat it with confidence, and you won’t be thirsty after drinking the soup. Once you tried, you’ll have an idea that how much flavourings are added to the food while dining out.
A homemade soup noodles has no difficulties at all.
I only used salted vegetable bouillon powder, oyster sauce, and soy sauce as the main seasoning, resulting in a mild flavour. It’d be great to add herbs such as coriander, but unfortunately I didn’t have any on hand.
