- Use gluten free noodles (rice or buckwheat) and tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten free version.
- Make it creamier by adding a splash of soy milk to the broth.
- Not a fan of spice? Skip the chili oil and flakes, and use fresh herbs like basil, coriander, or chives instead.
- Enjoy your instant noodles fresh, they're best straight from the pan. Storage not recommended.
