The spicy noodle soup I cook when I DON'T ACTUALLY have time to cook 😅🍜😅 | Marion's Kitchen

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Chicken breast is leaner and pork belly is often less expensive.

rice noodles

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Zucchini noodles are lower in carbs, while spaghetti is a cost-effective substitute.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lighter, and seasoning water is a budget-friendly option.

chili paste

🥗Healthier: sriracha

💰Cheaper: hot sauce

Sriracha offers a similar heat with fewer calories, while hot sauce is often less expensive.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep saucepan over high heat.

Add the pork and spread it out. Allow it to sear for 5 minutes or until you get some nice golden brown colour on the pork. Then break it up with your spatula.

Add the garlic and stir-fry for another minute.

Then stir through the gochujang paste.

Add the vinegar, soy sauce and chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Then add the baby spinach and cook for a further minute or until the spinach has wilted.

Divide your cooked noodles among serving bowls. Ladle over the soup mixture. Top with spring onions and serve.
