In the movie
Theatrical
- 01:09:17 Mr. Ping's noodle shop runs on his famous Secret Ingredient Soup — until he finally tells Po the truth: there is no secret ingredient. 'To make something special, you just have to believe it's special.'
Mr. Ping's soup is the film's whole philosophy in a bowl — the "secret" that isn't one lands at the exact moment Po understands the Dragon Scroll's blank reflection. The best kung fu movie ever made about believing in your own noodle soup.
Ingredients
Method
- Simmer the stock with ginger, scallions, soy, and rice wine, 20 minutes.
- Blanch the bok choy in the broth; boil the noodles separately until just tender — 2 to 3 minutes for fresh wheat noodles — and drain.
- Fan noodles into bowls, ladle the broth over, and top with bok choy, tofu or chicken, and scallions.
- Offer chili oil. Believe the bowl is special.
- That's it. That's the recipe. It's just you.
