Handy Hints:

  • Add noodles at the very end
  • Don't let coconut milk bubble hard
  • Grate ginger while it's still frozen
  • Boost the spice if you like it hot

After tons of trial and error, I realized tossing in herbs just at the end and pulling noodles out before they turn mushy makes for a killer bowl every time.
