Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped chicken, shrimp, or crumbled tofu. Sauté the protein after the aromatics and before adding the other vegetables.
Incorporate other vegetables like finely chopped mushrooms, sweet corn, or bamboo shoots for added texture and flavor.
Increase the amount of green chilies or add a teaspoon of Schezwan sauce along with the other sauces for an extra kick of heat.
Use tamari instead of soy sauce, ensure your chili sauce is certified gluten-free, and use rice noodles for the crispy topping.

A single serving of Manchow Soup (approx. 410g) contains around 350-400 calories. A significant portion of these calories comes from the deep-fried noodles. To reduce the calorie count, you can bake the noodles or use a smaller amount as a garnish.
Manchow Soup is packed with vegetables, providing vitamins and fiber. However, it can be high in sodium from sauces like soy sauce, and the fried noodles add extra fat and calories. For a healthier version, use low-sodium soy sauce, bake the noodles instead of frying, and increase the quantity of vegetables.
Absolutely! The soup is delicious on its own. The crispy noodles are a traditional garnish for texture, but you can omit them or use store-bought crispy chow mein noodles to save time.
To make a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce, check that your chili sauce is gluten-free, and use rice noodles or other certified gluten-free noodles for the crispy topping.
Store the soup and the crispy noodles in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. The soup will keep well for 2-3 days, while the noodles will stay crispy for up to a week. Reheat the soup on the stovetop and top with the noodles just before serving.
