Asian Noodle Broth
A trip to an Asian market to find exotic noodles is no longer necessary. Most well-stocked supermarkets feature an array of imported noodles in the Asian foods section. See the menu with Instant Tofu and Mixed Vegetable Stir-Fry (page 144).

Preparation
Step 1
Combine the noodles with hot water to cover in a heatproof container. Cover and soak until al dente, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, combine the broth, mushrooms, and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the mushrooms are done, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the noodles well. Transfer them to a cutting board and chop in several directions to shorten.
Step 4
Stir the noodles and scallions into the broth and season with pepper. Add a bit more water if the soup is too thick. Serve at once.

Step 5
Asian-style soups are ideal to make when you want a good soup quickly, with little forethought. With a burst of inspiration and a few choice ingredients, a tasty soup is a few minutes away. While most soups benefit from being made ahead of time to develop flavor, these are best eaten as soon as they are made.
