….How about making delicious and easy Chinese seafood noodle soup? It’s something that I can always make quickly for lunch or when people suddenly come over. What makes for a delicious noodle soup? I think there needs to be good noodle and a nice broth. I bought our favorite noodle(potato noodle) from a market, and used mixed chicken broth and beef broth but you could use vegetable broth or any of your favorite stock. All cultures rely on stock to make their soups and stews delicious. It’s different than the traditional way of making it. That way uses chicken broth with some seafoods and chopped vegetables as a garnish. I made it simple, but looked fancy. My husband who likes sujebi(hand torn noodle soup), also enjoyed it. Especially, the broth was delicious for us and we ate it all. Thanks for today.
