Sweet and Spicy Noodle Soup

Easy to make, and perfect for the colder months! 

• 1 Package of Noodles (I used whole wheat spaghetti here, but soba and rice noodles are wonderful also)
• 1-2 Cups of Mushrooms
• Scallions
• Cilantro
• Eggs
• 4 Cups Chicken Stock
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• 1/2 White Onion
• 1-2 Tablespoons Chili Paste
• 4 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Mince the garlic and slice the onion into thin strips.  Saute with chili paste until golden brown.  In a large pot, combine the chicken stock, mushrooms, garlic and chili mixture, and onion.  Bring to a boil, then add noodles and turn off heat.  In another pan, fry an egg for each bowl of noodles.  Stir in the remaining indgredients into the large pot.  Top each bowl of soup with a fried egg, scallions, and float a bunch of cilantro to finish.  If you like it spicier, add more chili paste and for a sweeter flavor, add extra brown sugar.  Enjoy!
