Thai Noodle Soup: street food recipe

Still enjoying the Lonely Planet Street Food cookbook. Travel photos, stories of food culture around the world and recipes... combines some of my favorite things. This one is a tasty easy soup-- a staple in Thai street food and home-cooking.
My recipe...
Boil chicken stock (32 oz) (or veggie stock, but add a bit of oil).
Add white pepper and ground ginger, 1-2 tsp each.
Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms.
Drop in meatballs (1 in. in diameter) made with pork or turkey, or a mix of both, or use tofu.
Let meatballs boil 5 min.
Add rice noodles, which you have already soaked for 5 minutes.
Boil 5 more minutes till noodles are soft and meatballs are done.
Garnish each bowl with cilantro, green onion, Bamboo shoots, and lime juice.



Yummy breakfast I made for Mia the next day... half of a mini chocolate croissant, ham&cheese scramble and melon. The picture is too delicious not to share.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
