I love this recipe during the cold months of the year. It evolved from a recipe torn out of a magazine and it changes a little bit every time I make it.

DIRECTIONS

Prep all ingredients. This comes together quickly so it is nice to be fully prepped.
Heat oil in medium sized pot over medium-high heat.
Add garlic, ginger, chili paste, and lemon grass. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes to bring out flavor. (It'll smell really yummy at this point!).
Add mushrooms and chicken and stir to coat for about 2 minutes. Don't brown them, you just want to let them soak in some of the flavor.
Add the chicken stock and water and bring to a boil.
Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in cilantro, oyster Sauce, lime juice, green onions, and red pepper.
Let stand for a few minutes then discard lemon grass.
Serve with siracha, lime wedges, and oyster sauce.
