Asian Noodle Soup
A few tweaks give the chicken soup a spicy new attitude. To release the citrusy flavor of lemongrass stalks, pound them with a meat mallet or a heavy pot. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, look for dried in the spice aisle.
Ingredients :
- Asian chili sauce (such as Sriracha), for serving (optional)
- fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
