Tomato and egg noodle soup
"This easy noodle soup is a variation of the famous Chinese tomato and egg stir-fry, which is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Any noodles you have at home will work—from rice noodles to wheat noodles to hand-pulled noodles (check out our how-to for this recipe!) You could also make the egg different, by scrambling it or serving it sunny side-up over the soup. I like to serve it with Chinese pickles, Sichuan peppercorn oil, or chili crisp to add even more flavor. We use vegetable stock to keep the recipe vegetarian, but you could use chicken stock or even water."
