Treat your ingredients with care...

• Şiveydiz noodles — Cook the noodles according to package instructions, making sure not to overcook them as they should remain silky and tender.
• Chinese five-spice powder — Use a good quality Chinese five-spice powder for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a few drops of chili oil to the broth.
• Customize the vegetables according to your preference. You can add mushrooms, snow peas, or bok choy for additional flavor and texture.
• Marinate the chicken or beef in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for extra flavor before cooking.
• If you prefer a thicker broth, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the simmering broth.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
