🍜 Ginger-Lemon Ham Soup with Momofuku Noodles

Ingredients

Instructions

Heat oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add onion or shallots, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes.

Add garlic and ginger and cook briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in ham and broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 10–15 minutes to infuse the broth.

Add cabbage and Momofuku noodles. Cook until noodles are just tender, about 4–5 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, pepper, and parsley. Taste and adjust salt only if needed.

Notes

Add lemon off heat to keep flavor bright.

Ham provides most of the seasoning.

Add extra broth when reheating as noodles absorb liquid.
