A white ceramic bowl of spicy noodles sits in a red chili broth, topped with scallions, cilantro, pork pieces and halved eggs with red yolk centers. The round eggs with their dark rims serve as the finder squares, while the tangled noodle strands and broth swirls carry the modules. Dark egg edges and green leaves against pale noodles give the pattern firm contrast. Chili oil splatters and a loose blue watercolor wash on the plate add a painterly finish around the bowl.
