Asian-Inspired Noodle Soup



This soup is a little bizarre, like pho meets ramen in a shady part of town. It tasted great, although I’m sorely disappointed with the texture of the bok choy.

But in all honesty, nothing could really disappoint me because this soup was created for this glorious bowl. By existing in this awesome bowl, the soup tasted even better!



Seriously though, if any of you have bok choy suggestions, I would like to hear them.




Asian-inspired Noodle Soup:

3.5 oz rice noodles
1 clove garlic, minced
32 oz chicken stock
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tbsp mirin
4-5 leaves baby bok choy, washed

In a small soup pot, heat chicken stock, garlic, soy sauce, and mirin. In a separate pot, boil rice noodles for 4-5 minutes. (They will cook very quickly). Drain rice noodles and place into two bowls. When broth has begun to simmer, add bok choy and cook until heated, about two minutes. Pour broth over noodles and garnish with chopped green onions.

Makes two servings.
