I didn’t have ramen noodles, so I substituted some leftover white rice.

I didn’t have bean sprouts, so I cut a carrot into matchsticks.

I didn’t have scallions, so I substituted some dried shitake mushrooms.

…and by the time I was done, I figured I’d go all the way, and drizzled a beaten egg into it to make it a sort-of-Hot and Sour soup.

I was going to thank you for the recipe, but I got off track somewhere. It was still delicious, so, thank you for the inspiration!
