About

A really simple recipe that you can call Asian Shrimp and Noodle Broth if you want to give it a more upscale name. This is a perfect dish to make for kids as well as adults. It’s almost as easy as heating a bought one-pot meal. Just make sure you are careful which chili you use, if you are going to serve it to your kids, because they vary so much in their degree of heat. As a general rule, the longer they are, the milder they are.
