- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup yellow onion finely diced
- 1 zest of lime
- juice of 1 lime about 1 Tbsp

- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 Roma tomato seeded and coarsely chopped
let's do it
- Remove noodles and spice packet from packaging then set aside.
- Place large saucepan over medium heat and add the water, seasoning packets (2), onion, lime zest, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce and sriracha.
