Asian Chicken and Noodle Soup

This is a wonderful soup... Think Asian SPICY French Onion Soup.

The noodles are fun, as they are sitting uncooked in the bottom of a bowl.  Add the HOT cooked soup and you have cooked noodles!

Next, I have a limit as to how many extra ingredients I will buy for a recipe.  I bought the Sriracha the recipe (and Adam strongly) recommended.  I did not have any Duck sauce.  But I researched a bit and decided I could substitute a bit of ChiliDawg's PEACHbanero pepper sauce in place of the Duck sauce.

The soup is thin like a broth, but the extra spices really heat this up.  It is not a soup for the faint of heart.

I added an odd ingredient... Peach Jam.  I might have used Duck Sauce, but I didn't have any and am just too cheap to buy some for a single dish.  The Peach Jam was just right to add a little hint of sweetness.  Loved the glass noodles, the oriental taste and of course, Sriracha sauce is legendary for it;s unique spiced taste.  Mother's milk to many!

Here's what I did...
