Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until they become aromatic.
- Add the prawns to the pot and cook until they turn pink, indicating they are cooked through. Once done, remove the prawns using a slotted spoon and set them aside.
- In the same pot with the infused oil, pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, and chili flakes. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow the broth to simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to marry together.
- While the broth is simmering, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set them aside.
- After the broth has simmered, taste it and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- To serve, divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles, making sure each bowl gets an equal amount.
- Top each bowl with the cooked prawns, a handful of bean sprouts, a sprinkling of chopped spring onions, and a touch of chopped cilantro.
- Finally, squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl for a touch of acidity and serve hot. Enjoy this invigorating dish on a cool day!
Tips
- For a spicy kick, feel free to add more chili flakes or serve the soup with a side of chili oil.
- You can also add other toppings like sliced mushrooms, bok choy, or tofu for more variety.
