What is the recommended portion size for Tom Yum Noodles?

A standard serving size for Tom Yum Noodles is approximately 1.5-2 cups or 300-400 grams, depending on added proteins and vegetables. Pair it with a side dish or salad for a balanced meal, and opt for homemade versions to control ingredients and portion size.

How does Tom Yum Noodles compare to other noodle soups like Pho or Ramen?
