Miso Ramen with Pork Broth
This dish is definitely a labor of love. I love eating a steaming hot bowl of ramen noodles and love to go eat it at Ippudo in NYC. It is the ultimate comfort food for me. Well, I got it in my mind to replicate the dish… it was quite an adventure from going to the Asian store and getting all the ingredients to finding pork bones… I went to three different stores to find the neck bones… it was all worth it as in the end I had a delicious broth and a yummy bowl of ramen. I made extra broth and froze the rest…
Pork Broth

Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, adding water as needed. Skim any brown stuff that comes up to the surface. Turn the heat off and take all the bones out and let cool. Strain the broth and return to the stock pot, you should have about 8 cups broth. Bring to a boil and add the dashi granules, tamari and miso. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste the broth and keep aside.

This was yummy, yummy! We just got a new Asian store near our house and I am super excited to be able to buy all the yummy veggies like Chinese broccoli and fresh noodles, etc any time I want….
- 16 ounces rice noodles (any variety will do. I was able to find the actual wide rice noodles), cooked according to package directions. Drain well and drizzle with some oil to prevent sticking together. Be careful not to over cook.

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
Mix together and keep aside.

Check for seasonings and add the green onions and cilantro. Serve warm.
Chinese Broccoli with Ground Turkey
I served this dish with the lo mein. I love, love Chinese broccoli. I try to get it any time I see it. Unfortunately I don’t find it very often at Whole Foods. Since I was in the Asian market, I promptly bought some. I used the dark soy sauce to marinate the meat and cooked it with the delicious greens. Next time you want to make delicious Chinese food- try this one… read more …
Chinese Broccoli with Tofu Noodles
This was a great discovery and a huge success in my house. A friend told me about tofu noodles she bought at the Asian store. I found them in Whole Foods with the other tofu products. It is tofu shaped as noodles in a liquid- similar to the liquid in a tofu package.
I brought them home; drained them; rinsed and cooked them in the microwave for a minute. They were then ready to be used like regular cooked noodles. I also had a big bunch of Chinese broccoli- one of our favorite vegetables to eat. It reminds me of broccoli raab- which is my favorite thing to eat.
I simply sauteed the Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce. I then added the noodles and some salt- and that was it. It was the quickest dish- almost comparable to the fish I made with it. Both the dishes were super easy and quick to make.
My daughter devoured the noodles and wanted more. I wish I had made two packages instead of one… she would have eaten the whole package if I had let her. It is definitely going to be a staple in my house…
Try these noodles- they are healthy and delicious….

Lo Mein with Chinese Broccoli and Mushrooms
I served these noodles with the sweet and sour fish dish I posted last week. Since the fish didn’t have any veggies, I decided to pack the noodles with mushrooms and Chinese broccoli. Unfortunately Chinese broccoli is not available in all supermarkets, so, one can substitute baby spinach for it. I like to visit an Asian store in a neighboring town once a month. I love going through the aisles, not recognizing most of the ingredients. I love buying lots of bottles; dried noodles and fresh vegetables. A must purchase is the Chinese broccoli. I love the sweet, earthy and almost bitter taste of these delicious greens.
I love all kinds of noodles- especially the Chinese egg noodles. I used fresh ginger, green onions as aromatics. I also used flavorful sesame oil to give the dish great taste.
All in all- the dish is self sufficient and great as an entree but it is fabulous with the chili fish…
