Here my friend’s is a Chinese cabbage shiitake noodle bowl. It’s sort of a half soup, half noodle bowl. More noodle, than soup. One made with ramen noodles, the one thing that brings me back to my 20’s, when half my packed lunches comprised of salads made from ramen noodles \u2014 cooked, drained, then tossed with that little packet of seasoning (shrimp flavored of course) and then mixed with sweet red pepper, a can of baby corn, loads of green onions, and sometimes a handful of greens. That was my go-to ramen dish back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back even further, to the high school days, it was plain old shrimp flavored (yes, that was my favorite and I tried them all) ramen noodles boiled and served in their broth. I think I overdosed on that number. And now, what feels like two decades later, I finally tried a bowl again.<\/p>\n\n\n

So here I go giving ramen noodles another chance, but this time I picked up organic noodles made with spelt. To my surprise, they taste exactly the same. The difference is, besides being healthier, that instead of tossing them in a packaged seasoning, I’ve created my own version, a less brothy, less soupy one. A version with some of those good-for-you flavors, thanks to shiitake mushrooms (also for their umami factor) and my current can’t-get-enough-of-this-right-now Chinese cabbage (also called Napa cabbage). I’m in love with its mild and sweet flavor and tender texture. It’s the perfect last minute addition to soups and since it’s great raw, it adds plus points to any salad as a fantastic alternative to conventional greens.<\/p>\n\n\n
