How to cook it
-
Bring the water to a boil in a small pot.
-
Add the noodle blocks with their seasoning and oil sachets and cook for 1 minute.
-
Crack in the eggs and let them poach in the broth without stirring, about 2 minutes, or stir them through for egg ribbons if the children prefer.
-
Add the choy sum and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
-
Ladle into bowls and scatter with sliced scallions. The usual pack is the hot and sour shrimp flavor, which contains shrimp, so check the sachet if anyone at the table avoids shellfish.
