    Made this and those of us eating thought it could use a bit of tweaking. We started with refrigerated fresh rice stick noodles (vacuum packed) that said to boil for just a few seconds. Next time, I will take them out very quickly! My bad for letting them get a little gummy. The critique of the soup itself starts with making sure you have a good broth base--I used a no-chicken vegetarian broth that was fine but may have been part of the issue with the soup not having enough umami. Better with homemade or maybe a homemade dashi broth. We used the whole can of coconut milk and one recommendation was to start with half a can as it was a tad too rich. We used king trumpet and shiitake mushrooms, sweet potato (these were cut into small dice and cooked too long so they were a little mushy--watch your cook time or make larger cubes), and added beansprouts. So the final dish was tasty but needed better chef-ing in the kitchen to be a knock-out. Worth trying again.

    A lovely meal to eat on a rainy day. I increased the vegetables and decreased the noodles.
