Make a slightly-thin Chicken stock (I have a soft spot for the Knorr "Taste Of" liquid stocks, they're not too salty and you can use only what you need), pinch of five spice, maybe a little fish sauce if you've got it.
I usually throw in a tin of sweetcorn and maybe a bit of chopped ham (though if you've got a bit of cold roast chicken that's good too), chuck in a pack of instant noodles, simmer till nearly done, then, thicken with a bit of cornflour slurry made with white wine (if you're feeling extravagant) finish off with chopped spring onions, bit of pepper and maybe a hint of soy if the seasoning needs it.
Much better than the MSG-laden liquid disappointment available from many purveyors of apparently-Chinese cuisine ...

Apparently egg whites make a good thickener too.
