Worked this out with Gemini. Serves one as a quick, nourishing, and satisfying soup. Great for when working from home.

11 minutes start to finish including the washing up.

Quick noodle soup

Ingredients

• 250ml homemade fish stock
• 1 portion of noodles (ramen noodles, rice noodles, or egg noodles work brilliantly)
• A splash of soy sauce or tamari (to taste)
• A thin slice of fresh ginger (or a pinch of ground ginger)
• 1 spring onion, finely sliced (save a little green part for garnish)
• A handful of greens (such as baby spinach, shredded pak choi, or finely sliced cabbage)
• Optional protein/extras: A few leftover flakes of salmon or trout, a few cooked prawns, or a raw egg.

Directions

1. Pour your 250ml of fish stock into a litre jug or bowl. Add your ginger slice, the white parts of the spring onion, and a splash of soy sauce. Cover it loosely with a microwave cover or a small plate.
2. Microwave on Medium (600W) for 2 minutes.
3. Once the 2 minutes are up, drop your noodles and greens (and any protein you are using) straight into the hot stock, pushing them under the liquid.
   If using an egg, crack that into the liquid, ensuring it is submerged in the water.
4. Cover again and microwave on 600W for 3 minutes, pausing halfway through to give the noodles a quick stir so they separate evenly.
5. Leave it to stand in the oven for 1 minute, scatter your reserved spring onion greens over the top, and enjoy straight away.
