A delightful noodle soup inspired by Hawaiian flavors, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil.
Ensure the water is boiling before adding the noodles for even cooking.
Add the soba noodles and cook until al dente, then drain and rinse under warm water.
Rinsing the noodles removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
In the same pot, combine the chicken broth, ginger, and soy sauce, and bring to a gentle boil.
Simmering the broth with ginger enhances its aromatic flavor.
Add the ham, carrot, cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, green peas, and shrimp to the broth and simmer until cooked.
Cut the vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
Slowly pour the beaten egg into the simmering broth, stirring gently to create ribbons.
Pour the egg in a thin stream while stirring to achieve a silky texture.
Place the cooked noodles in serving bowls and ladle the broth with toppings over them.
Arrange the toppings neatly for an appealing presentation.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
