Asian noodle soup! the question is, where have we not eaten it? We are privileged to have eaten the finest from the regions that really mean business. Guangzhou, one of the many culinary capitals of China is an ace when it comes to noodle soups. Our travels not only give us the chance to taste delicacies in the lands of their origin but also educate us to reproduce them upon our return. Every great dish has one secret recipe in common. The secret being keeping things simple!

When a Pan Asian restaurant in Bangalore refused us entry, we made it a point to put our travel experience to good use. It was the day when the mixer grinder you often see in our videos went cranky and we had to take it to a near by service center. Once the job was done, we were walking towards the bus station to return home. Having spent an entire morning at the service center we were hungry and upon seeing this restaurant we though we would grab a bowl of noodle soup and relax. Well, we were refused service right at the door. Maybe we appeared like people below their serving standards and we returned home with a vengeance to treat ourselves right.

We care the least for authenticity when it comes to food as our objective circles around accurate flavour reproduction. We do this by sourcing the cheapest ingredients locally and turning them into healthy recipes.  Our Asian noodle soup is fairly easy to make and more importantly it is as comforting as the ones you would find in Hong Kong and China. Our recipe will yield 6 servings, with 771 kilocalories in each. To follow our recipe, you will need the ingredients listed below.
