Loved it!! Truly one of the easiest and simplest one out there if your craving something hot when it’s raining 😊


Veerle - Feb. 26, 2025, 8:20 p.m.

Delicious!! Easy to make and containing loads of calcium. Used tahini instead of Asian sesame paste and it tasted amazing


lotte - Feb. 25, 2025, 6 p.m.

Wow i just made this and it was sooo good! Definitely will make this again


Astrid Flores - Feb. 25, 2025, 10:44 a.m.

It is so tasty. I absolutely loved this recipe. We marinated the tofu before hand and it complemented the dish really well.


Sara Hakkoum - Feb. 21, 2025, 1:20 p.m.

This soup base is one of my favourite things, I make it whenever I have leftover noodles, fried tofu/veggies… yum!!!


Julia - Feb. 5, 2025, 8:55 p.m.

It's so quick and easy. My boyfriend and i love ramen and this is a delicious alternative to make on weeknights.🤗


Willemijn Postel - Jan. 28, 2025, 7:07 p.m.

Amazing and easy! Swapped the vegetable bouillon cubes for some mushroom flavouring powder from Lee Kum Kee and added some crispy fried onions. Delicious :)


Grant Watson - Jan. 23, 2025, 8 a.m.

Takes 40 - 50 minutes to make including prep time, delicious though


Devyn King - Jan. 19, 2025, 12:05 a.m.

Super simple and delicious, and perfect for a quick weeknight meal! Easily customizable too--I love to throw in a few extra veggies ☺️


Réka Nasz - Nov. 27, 2024, 7:13 p.m.

I really love this warming soup! :)


Atessa - Oct. 17, 2024, 6:56 p.m.

Love this recipe — quick, easy and so tasty!

Making it right now and there’s my “problem” again: how to serve it? I’m looking for the “perfect” bowls, not too flat not too deep. Maybe you can share where you get yours? :)

Hi Atessa! Many of our kitchen pottery is from thrift stores - always very unique finds there. 
Others were purchased from local Dutch shops, such as Dille & Kamille, online from pottery shops such as NomLiving, or local potters in neighbouring towns. This particular bowl is from the brand 'Elements' if that helps 🤗


Zach Marine - Aug. 18, 2024, 4:22 a.m.

Quite tasty. We didn't have sesame paste but substituted tahini and sesame oil. Not a perfect replacement, but the dish still turned out great!


Rudy R. A. - July 4, 2024, 3:45 a.m.

I added whole kernel corn from the can, and I swapped the vegetable bullion for miso paste. It was great!!!

Kelsey M - May 19, 2024, 4:56 a.m.

Really good for a simple winter dish. I think this would be a winner for when you want to serve many people at once :)


Alexis S - May 10, 2024, 6:54 a.m.

This was a quick dish to make! A lot of flavor in the broth. I found the bok choy to be a bit undercooked to my liking though and the tofu lacking flavor.


Soline HIRTER - April 28, 2024, 9:55 a.m.

Very good recipe ! 😍 I juste replaced asian paste and chili oil by sesame sauce and sesame oil + add dry pepper for spice (because i didn't found these ingredients) and it was si good ! 😇

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 29, 2024, 4:35 p.m.

So glad that the noodle soup was enjoyed, Soline 😊


lisa - April 16, 2024, 4:53 a.m.

Love the simple and easy recipe. When I get off from work, sometimes I do not feel like spending an hour or more cutting and cooking so this recipe is great! The broth is really flavorful, each ingredient really gets to shine.


Michelle M - April 10, 2024, 7:29 p.m.

I’ve made this several times now so I needed to come back and leave a review because it is SO delicious. I’m not normally a bok choy fan but it tastes really good in this broth. I also love how simple and quick it is to put together. Easy 5 stars!!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 10, 2024, 9:01 p.m.

Yayy thanks a bunch for sharing the glowing review, Michelle! 🫶✨


Malini Whabi - April 9, 2024, 5:12 p.m.

Made this today for dinner. my hubby & I loved it! 😊😊
Added a bit of Schezwan Sauce and Cornflour to the sauce to thicken it a bit.


Johanna - April 4, 2024, 8:02 p.m.

Absolutely delicious! And quite easy to make :) it was the first time we were trying the crispy chilli oil and it's super tasty and not too extra spicy (I found it less spicy than gochujang for instance). Thanks for the great recipe!

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 5, 2024, 1:18 a.m.

Awe we're so happy to hear that the soup was enjoyed, Johanna! Thank you 😊


Kim Tee - April 3, 2024, 8:32 a.m.

A spicy, delicious dish that comes together easily. I feared it wouldn't be enough for two because it is "just soup," but this is quite filling.


Amrita - March 26, 2024, 11:23 p.m.

This recipe is unreal!! I ended up using a combination of tahini and almond butter, and it was SO good. Can’t wait to try it with the Asian sesame paste! I also experimented with sautéing some spinach and mushrooms with garlic, and using that instead of the bok choy, and I thought that worked really well (more than seven ingredients, though haha)!

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 28, 2024, 5:53 a.m.

Woohoo! So glad you enjoyed it, Amrita 😊

Preethi - March 31, 2024, 5:50 p.m.

Thanks for the alternatives, Amrita! I might try these out too ☺️


Helena - March 22, 2024, 11:31 p.m.

Delicious!!!!!


Tessa - March 20, 2024, 3:26 a.m.

Really enjoyed this one! So easy to make. I used tahini paste and it tasted great.


Juliette Prosser - March 18, 2024, 8:30 p.m.

Love this! Made it with the specified ingredients (Amazon sell crispy chilli and Asian sesame paste) and its SO good! I was a bit worried about the quantity of the crispy chilli as I've never had it before, but it was just right. Spicy, but not super hot - more of a warming heat than a chilli burn. It was very quick and easy to make - perfect weekday dinner

PUL small logo PUL Team - March 20, 2024, 9:07 p.m.

Whoop whoop! So glad that the chili oil sesame noodle soup was enjoyed, Juliette, it means so much 🤗


Abhinaya Swaminathan - March 18, 2024, 12:46 p.m.

Its amazing!
Couldn't find Asian sesame paste but still works with tahini

Abhinaya Swaminathan - March 18, 2024, 12:47 p.m.

Wish I could share a photo

Delicious! Used regular tahini instead and it came out great!
