    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. 2

    Cook the noodles separately so the broth stays clean, and divide them between deep bowls.

  3. 3

    Cook the green beans 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 green beans on top.

Chef's tip

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