Categories: Soups, Easy, Asian
Yield: 4 servings

1/2 lb Egg noodles; dried or fresh
1 qt Chicken stock; or vegetable
-stock

-chopped
1/2 c Celery; finely chopped
2 ts Sesame oil
1 tb Chili oil
1 tb Fish sauce; (nam pla)
1 tb Fresh lime juice
1 tb Soy sauce
2 ts Sugar

INTRO: *Serves 2 to 4. Egg noodles are a simple and comforting food, plain,
homey, nutritious, and satisfying. Combined with soup, their virtues are
magnified and when we add a touch of Southeast Asian zest -- lime juice and
fish sauce -- the result is a wholesome soup that can serve as a light
lunch for two or as a soup starter for any meal.

PREP: If you are using fresh noodles, blanch them for 3 to 5 minutes in a
large pan of boiling water, then immerse in cold water. If you are using
dried noodles, cook in boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the noodles,
cool in cold water until required.

Put the stock into a pot and bring it to a simmer. Add the rest of the
ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles and add them to the
soup. Bring the soup back to simmering and serve at once. PER SERVING:
