    I found this recipe for PF Changs Chicken Noodel Soup - which I Love! I made it this week adn it is pretty right on. I am copying the exact recipe below but here are my suggestions/modifications based on the soup I made: use less soy or low sodium, soup was a little salty for my liking. I did a pretty long squirt of siracha - (2 TBSp) and it was pretty spicy but we like that added chopped green onions when i added the tomatoes added noodles directly to the soup after the 15 min simmer. I was unable to find the noodles they use at Chang's and used bahn pho rice sticks instead.

      I worked at PF Changs for years and am now craving this soup.... just looking at this recipe, it's close, but not quite there. Rather than lime juice and brown sugar, use a mix of white vinegar and white sugar. Use less soy sauce (probably 1/4 c.)... I'm currently trying to make it, we'll see how this goes!

      Also, rather than Sriracha, use chili paste.

          I am a HUGE fan of PF Changs' Chicken Noodle Soup! But because I am a vegan, I thought I would have to give it up forever. Today, however, I used your copycat recipe and made it vegan. It was FABULOUS!

          I exchanged the chicken broth for Imagine's Organic No-Chicken broth and I used thinly sliced Beyond Meat's [grilled] Chicken-Free Strips for the chicken breasts.

          I am in heaven!

              Made this last night. It was very close to the PF Chang's soup. Followed the recipe almost exactly. Will definitely make this again.

                  Question on Udon noodles? Do I use the whole pack? Does not look like the noodles that PF Changs uses.

                    Chang’s uses pin noodles or silver noodles. They can often be found at Asian markets in the frozen section.

                      I haven't made the PF Changs chicken noodle soup yet but I am planning on adding scallions. Scallions are in the restaurants' soup. I don't see the need for cornstarch. I am using cooked chicken strips from Whole Foods. I'll probably add a tespoon of fish sauce...I use that for a non heat kick which you don't taste. {It's my trick for saffron rice too}. I'll add more cilantro and mushrooms too as well as low sodium soy sauce. Sriracha can be purchased on line. I am lucky the Sriracha and Udon noodles are easy to find both in Miami Beach and New York in regular grocery stores. Korean markets carry it all.

                            You could try using Sambol Olek - a chili garlic paste often used in thai and chinese cooking. You cna find it in the asian section of the grocery store.

                              Could you suggest an alternative for Sriracha sauce. We don't have this in my area. Thanks for your reply.
