Noodle

This bracing dish offers a taste of China's Sichuan Province and needs no reheating or additional prep at lunchtime.

Reheating the chicken in broth magnifies the flavors of both, and because you’re using rice noodles, the soup won’t get cloudy or starchy. And if it’s a cold you’re fighting, jalapeño and sriracha will help clear those sinuses.

Light and refreshing, this cool soup is perfect on a hot summer’s day. You can serve it as is, or add your choice of protein (such as chicken or tofu) for a more substantial meal.
