Egg Noodles in Soy Broth

Egg noodles and soy broth

My version-

1/3 cup soy sauce, more to taste
1/3 cup ketchup or 3 tablespoons tomato paste and a pinch of sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, more to taste
A few drops dark sesame oil
A squirt of sriracha or other sauce, or a dried red chili to taste
6 c. water
1 pound fresh egg noodles or udon noodles
4 chopped scallions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
In a smaller pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat so water bubbles gently.
Add soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, sesame oil and sriracha or chili, along with a pinch of salt to the small pot with the water.
Stir and let simmer.
Add egg noodles to large pot (fresh noodles will be ready in just a couple of minutes, dried will take longer).
When tender but not mushy, drain.
Taste broth and add more soy, salt, vinegar or heat as you like.
Divide noodles and scallions into bowls and pour hot broth over all.
Yield: 4 servings.

You can add poached chicken or even mini pork and shrimp meatballs to the party as well.

Toddler review 2/6/12-

This went over really well. P was begging us to make some soup with fresh udon we found at the store. They were delicious and despite feeling crappy times four in our house, it was a huge hit.
