My friends, hasn't it been a horrible week? such terrible things happening around the world and lots of sadness. There have been pockets of happiness though, a kind man fixed my bike for free, the weather has been pretty sweet and I was asked to take photos of a civil partnership which was the most love filled room I've been in for a long time.
(congrats you two.)
So also, my lovely flatmates make this thing that they call 'noodle bowl' when they're tired or hungover and I love it. It's not a fancy new recipe and couldn't be less complicated, but I'm just sharing it with you on the off chance that you've got a hangover from the weekend like I have, and that you've got a sadness hangover from the bad things like most people do this week.
This noodle bowl will make your nose run, your chin wet and your stomach full. It feels good and it'll take you a maximum of ten minutes from start to finish.
It's the little things.
There are no strict rules about the veggies, I love green ones and I had broccoli, edamame, asparagus, spring onions and peas in the fridge, use whatever you've got.
To make enough for two, you'll need:
1 litre of water/about 4 cups
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp mirin (sub 1/2 tsp sugar if you haven't got it)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 big ol' chili
a nub of fresh ginger
whatever veggies you have in the fridge
noodles (I like those soft straight-to-pan noodles, but use whatever's in the cupboard)
fresh coriander to serve.
you could also definitely lightly fry some tofu and put it on top, but I bloody hate tofu.
Put the water, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin and sesame oil in a pan and bring to the boil. Roughly chop the chile and ginger and add to the water.
I mean roughly! we've got hangovers here, this isn't masterchef.
Once the water's boiling, add all your prepared veggies for a minute or so, then add the noodles.
Give it a minute to swish about so that the veggies are crisp but tender, noodles are cooked. Grab a ladle and scoop out a bowl full.
Chuck the coriander on top and carry the bowl somewhere comfy. Balance it on a cushion while you veg out to gray's anatomy and drip broth down your front (probably just me).
Drinking that broth is the cure to a hangover.
If you've had a hard time this week, make this. You'll feel better. I'm thinking of you. <3
