This particular one is from page 110 in the April 2012 issue of Shape magazine.
I had never had drunken noodles before, and while the recipe called for jalapeƱo and cayenne pepper I subbed in some sriracha. This soup was great, a little hard to eat without chopsticks but I made due with a fork and drinking the broth after I was finished!
