During the winter, noodle bowls are the way to go. It was an especially cold day when I decided to make this dish for lunch. I braved the slush and snow to pick up some juicy shiitake mushrooms and tender baby bok choy from the grocery store. Thank goodness the store is just a short walk away. Garlic, soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, baby bok choy, and a dash of sriracha in the broth. Simmered until the veggies were tender before ladling it over a generous serving of Japanese somen noodles.

February 24, 2015 at 4:51 amI am a soup person. I am known to have soup every day for a week and still be fine. My husband thinks I am malnourish when this phase comes. I beg to differ. How can I be malnourish when my soup has all – protein, green and more green? This bowl of yours looks delish! Bon appetite!

February 24, 2015 at 9:36 amThe weather has been crazy over here! It’s sad that I think weather in the 30s F is a really nice day. How’s winter over on your end?

February 24, 2015 at 2:13 pmI heard of some snow storms on the east cost, so I thought of you guys. I hope the winter ends soon, 30s F shouldn’t be considered nice weather, at all.
Last few days here were pretty all right, had some sun and nicer weather. Tomorrow and next few days rain :( I wished we live in California or somewhere where is sunny most of the time :)

February 26, 2015 at 1:42 pmIf I only have soup, I usually end up feeling hungry only a few minutes after I’ve finished the dish, but with Ramen-style soups, it’s different. The noodles and vegetables makes it quite a solid dish and perfectly fine for a main course. Your soup looks delicious:)
