Place the noodles in the water. If you made fresh noodles give them a stir to keep them separated. If you used store bough then let them soften as they will be dry and brittle. Start another pan on the stove and heat to medium high heat. Pour in the broth, garlic and ginger. Once you have done this, check the noodles. Try to separate them out with a fork or chop sticks so they are loose. Total cooking time should be about 5-10 minutes for the noodles.
