Instructions
- Heat the Chicken Stock: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of chicken stock to a boil over medium-high heat to create the flavorful soup base.

- Simmer and Cook Noodles: Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the noodles to cook according to the package instructions until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping and ensure even cooking.

- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken stock with vegetable broth and oyster sauce with mushroom sauce or soy sauce alone.
- Adjust cooking time of noodles based on the brand and thickness for optimal texture.
