👨‍🍳 Method

To assemble

  1. 1
    Heat the stock in a pot with the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili pepper and salt and bring to a boil.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Turn down the heat and simmer 10 minutes.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Add the shrimp and cook 3–4 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink.
    Stove
  4. 4
    Sharpen the stock with the lemon juice and balance with salt to taste.
  5. 5
    Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling salted water (4¼ cups of water and a heaping teaspoon of salt for every 4 oz of pasta), following the package directions (taste about 2 minutes early), until al dente.
    ⚙ Cooking in salted waterStovePot
    💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
  6. 6
    Drain.
    Colander
  7. 7
    Transfer immediately to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.
