A quick, cozy, and nourishing vegetable and noodle soup made using an electric kettle, perfect for busy days or a comforting meal with minimal cookware.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (60g) instant noodles or thin egg noodles
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable broth powder or bouillon
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans) or fresh chopped veggies
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients by measuring noodles and veggies, mincing garlic, and grating ginger. Chop fresh veggies into bite-sized pieces and green onions last.
  2. Fill the electric kettle with about 3 cups (720ml) of water and bring to a rolling boil (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Place broth powder and garlic in a heatproof bowl. Pour about 2 cups (480ml) of boiling water over them and stir well to dissolve.
  4. Add noodles and frozen veggies to the hot broth. Cover the bowl with a plate or lid and let soak for 5-7 minutes until noodles are tender and veggies heated through. Stir occasionally.
  5. Stir in grated ginger, soy sauce, and chopped green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or salt if needed. Add red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
  6. Serve the soup warm immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use fresh broth powder for best flavor. Cover the bowl while soaking noodles to trap heat. Rinse noodles if they stick. Adjust salt carefully due to broth and soy sauce. Avoid thick pasta as it takes too long to cook in hot water. Can add cooked chicken or tofu for protein. For gluten-free, use rice or shirataki noodles. Soup is best fresh; leftovers can be stored up to 3 days in fridge with reheating tips.
