Rainy Day Food that Warms You Up from the Inside Out

Soba Noodle Bowls

Makes 2 huge servings.  :)

While your water heats to a boil for the noodles, sautee 1 cut up chicken breast in a teaspoon of sesame oil.

When the chicken is almost done, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and about 2 cups of veggies of your choice.  I used asparagus, carrots and mushrooms, then added some napa and mung sprouts right before serving.

Add soy sauce to taste.  Cover the chicken and veggies in 4 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Add your choice of noodle and boil according to instructions.  I like ramen or whole wheat soba, both of which take about 4 minutes.

Drain the cooked noodles.  Put a serving in the bottom of the bowl, and add the soup over the noodles.  Sprinkle the top with a yummy crunchy soba topping (below).

Soba Topping:
1 tsp chile powder
A pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp coriander
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
A pinch of crushed red pepper
