Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, stirring to combine.

  2. Step 2

    Add 8 ounces kalguksu noodles to the boiling broth. Cook according to package directions until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. Step 3

    Slice 2 green onions thinly, separating white and green parts. Add the white parts to the pot during the last minute of cooking.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the remaining green onion slices. Serve hot.
