1
Simmer the stock with the garlic and ginger for 15 minutes to build a fragrant base, then season with the sweet soy sauce and salt.
2
Cook the noodles separately so the broth stays clean, and divide them between deep bowls.
3
Cook the cabbage gently in the simmering broth until just done, then lift out and slice or portion.

Ladle the piping-hot broth over the noodles and arrange the cabbage on top.
5
Finish with fresh cilantro, spring onions and a wedge of lime on the side.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
