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.

atI 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!

atThanks! When you pack soups with proteins and greens, they can be so healthy and satisfying. You’ll have to convert your husband to a soup lover. I managed to convert mine! ;)

atYum, something tasty to keep you warm! What’s going on with that weather there, across the pond? :)

atThe 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?

atI 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 :)

atAww, enjoy the sunshine while you can! :) As much as I love NYC, I always miss CA during the winter! It’s always so sunny and happy there. Sigh…

atIt would be ideal to migrate to CA during winter :D

atIf 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:)

atThanks! Yah, all the veggies and noodles make a huge difference. You need it in the wintertime to fill up and not get hungry again soon.
