Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 quarts turkey or chicken stock
  • 3 cups shredded turkey or chicken

For serving

  3. Add the rice noodles. Cook, stirring, until the noodles are softened, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and add more lime with more lime juice and salt if needed.

  4. Divide the soup between bowls and garnish with cilantro, green onion, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.
