Udon Noodle Soup
Ingredients:
Tomatoes, bak choy, corn spears, red cabbage, fresh shitake mushrooms, instant udon, meatballs.
Note: My homemade meatball recipe is here. There were deep-fried previously to make Stewed Lion Heads. This is the boiled version. You can use pork and adjust the amount of seasonings.
Directions:
1. Cook packaged instant udon according to instructions. Set aside.
2. Prepare pot of boiling water, blanch the bok choy and corn. Set aside.
3. Add pinch of salt and pepper, drops of sesame oil into the boiling water, then add in tomatoes, mushrooms, meatballs to the boiling water and simmer till meatballs cook through. When meatballs cook through, dish out and set aside (Note: overcooking the meatballs will make them tough)
4.Add in red cabbage to the soup broth and cook till leaves are softened.
5. In a serving bowl, lay the vegetables (bok choy, cabbage, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms) and meatballs with the udon and ladle soup over the udon. Serve immediately.
Purple soup! That's cool!
ReplyDeleteI love udon and i love anythign purple!! so this one is for me :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your entry! I love noodle bowls.
ReplyDeleteThe only soup better than blue soup (blueberry coloring) is Purple Soup! Purple just happens to be my favorite color and after all this rain we've had, your soup is looking mighty tempting!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Beet juice is a favorite food coloring of mine especially for Easter eggs. Onion skins work too!!!
I have never tried coloring things with food, but I know beets do a good job of it and maybe cherries? Looks delicious.
