One of the Best Soups I've Ever Made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So good and so easy! Following the advice of other reviewers, I used about half of the vinegar the recipe calls for. I subbed... white wine vinegar for the rice vinegar, and I used Sriracha hot sauce instead of the Vietnamese chili paste. I didn't have any mirin, so I skipped that. Also, I put in a little extra sesame oil and a bit more garlic than what it says. And I subbed bean sprouts for the Napa cabbage, since four cups of cabbage seemed like it would bulk up the soup too much. Finally, I used thin Chinese wheat noodles instead of the rice noodles (and I used a bit more noodles than what the recipe calls for). What's great about this recipe is that you can add and subtract different elements and it's still delicious. I will make this recipe over and over again. It's so flavorful and satisfying--and it clears out those sinuses!Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I fixed this dish for my husband and myself last week. It was wonderful. I halved the recipe since it is just the two of... us, added shrimp and pork in addition to the chicken. I didn't have rice noodles so substituted spaghetti noodles. Very tasty, flavorful and delicious. I will be fixing this again.Read more

A VERY adaptable recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a VERY adaptable recipe that readily allows for substitutions and/or additions. After all, many people are not going... to have mirin (rice wine), rice vinegar, or Vietnamese chile paste on hand. (Cider vinegar seemed to work just fine, for example, and feel free to add additional vegetables, like spinach or green peas.) DON'T feel intimidated or scared away. I don't know how well this keeps as a left-over, because there was nothing left over! Read more
