Vegetables Simmered Somen Noodles
Due to Blogger.com issues, I lost my original post. Hope all the precious comments can be recovered :(
---------------------------------------------------------------------------I thought somen noodles only work well in soups, as noodle soups. Not so. I tried simmering them with Laticino (Dino) kale, cabbage, carrots in a wok of wet "stir-fry" and this Vegetables Simmered Somen Noodles kinda work!
The key step is to pre-fry the onions till they are slightly charred and caramelized; then add the ginger, carrots, garlic and fry to combine. When carrots slightly softened, add the cabbage, combine well with mixture, add 1-2cups water/broth and let it simmer low-medium heat for about 15 minutes or more till flavors develop. Finally add the thin shreds of kale (Note: Use the technique similar to Collard Greens). When kale turn tender, season with sea salt and ground white pepper.
This is not your typical Chow Mien (fried noodles) yet not a noodle soup. Do you like it?
