� 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
� 1 garlic clove, cut into slivers
� 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

Recipe

1. In a large pot, bring chicken broth, ginger, garlic, red- pepper flakes and the water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles, and reduce heat to a simmer; cook until noodles are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

2. Add chicken, bell pepper and snow peas; cook until chicken is opaque throughout, about 1 minute. Add lime juice and scallions, and season with salt. To serve, use tongs to divide noodles among four bowls, then ladle the soup mixture over each.
