Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by bringing 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Once boiling, add in the 3 chicken bouillon cubes, stirring until they dissolve completely. This will infuse the water with a rich, savory flavor that forms the base of the dish. |
| 2 | Add 2 cups of egg noodles to the boiling water and bouillon mixture. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. The butter adds a luscious creaminess to the dish, while the pepper introduces a slight hint of spice, balancing the flavors. |
| 3 | Continue boiling for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and cooked to your liking. Stir occasionally to ensure the noodles donβt stick to the bottom of the pot. Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more pepper or salt to suit your preference. Serve immediately and enjoy! |
Recipe Notes:
- Adjustments for spice: If you find the pepper too spicy, you can reduce it or omit it altogether. On the flip side, if you like a bit more kick, feel free to add more pepper, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Optional add-ins: To make the dish heartier, you can stir in cooked shredded chicken, vegetables like peas or carrots, or even a splash of cream to make it richer.
- Bouillon substitutes: If you prefer, you can use chicken broth or stock instead of bouillon cubes. In that case, reduce the water and simply bring the broth or stock to a boil before adding the noodles.
