Tips
- • Always use fresh egg noodles for the best texture and flavor • Salt your boiling water generously to enhance the noodles' taste • Don't overcook the noodles—aim for al dente to prevent mushiness • Use a wide skillet to ensure even coating of broth and vegetables • For extra richness, consider using homemade chicken broth • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can add a bright finishing touch • Let the noodles rest in the broth for a minute before serving to absorb maximum flavor
