Critical Success Points

  • Bring water to a full boil before adding noodles.
  • Do not overcook the noodles; they will continue to soften in the hot broth.

Safety Warnings

  • The broth is extremely salty; consume in moderation, especially if you have hypertension.
  • Hot liquid can cause burns – handle the saucepan with a pot holder.
