Whether you live alone, your roommates are out, or your partner is working late, we all find ourselves eating alone sometimes. On these occasions, it can be hard to make the effort to cook a tasty meal. Quick, convenient, and delicious, this one-pot meal is the perfect easy dinner for one.
Made with chewy egg noodles in a Chinese-inspired broth and plenty of flavorful toppings, this easy soup contains a nourishing balance of veggies, carbs, and protein. It’s also easy to adapt to what you have in the refrigerator. If you have fresh greens, add those instead of frozen spinach. Leftovers like cooked chicken, marinated tofu, or stir-fried veggies also make great additions. You can add more or less chili oil depending on how you handle the heat!
