CHINESE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• This soup changes as the ingredients are available in my refrigerator or on my cupboard shelves.
• Takes about 20 minutes from start to table. Start 2 cups of water to boil; add chicken broth.
• After stock boils, add the packet of seasoning supplied with Top Ramen.
• While broth is boiling, add 1 raw chicken breast (cut in small pieces), the chopped vegetables and the raw egg.
• The egg will cook into threads.
• Just before serving, add the noodles and the peas, then the sesame oil and scallions.
• Don't let soup sit around for long time because vegetables need to be a bit crunchy, cooked soft. If using leftover meat in your soup, just add at the end because it only needs to warm up again.
• You can always add another can of chicken broth if soup is too thick or you like more broth.
• You may vary the soup with different Chinese type vegetables available. Add some garlic and a dash of hot Chinese mustard.
• If using strong vegetables such as broccoli, cut small and don't overcook to avoid the strong flavor.
• Remember the noodles are already cooked and they do not need to be cooked, only to absorb the moisture from the broth, which does thicken the soup.

DUMPLING NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions, until the noodles are just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again. Divide them among four serving bowls.
• Place the same large pot over medium heat, and add sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds, until aromatic. Add turmeric, and stir for 15 seconds, until fragrant.
• Pour the vegetable stock into the pot, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat, to allow flavors to meld.
• Remove the lid and add the miso paste, stirring constantly until it is dissolved. Taste, and season with more salt, if needed.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, and carefully drop the dumplings into the broth. When they float to the top, add the baby bok choy and broccoli, and cook for about 2 minutes, just until the broccoli is crisp-tender.
• Ladle the broth, dumplings, baby bok choy and broccoli into the four bowls over the noodles. To serve, top with cilantro or chopped scallions.
