This noodle soup can be enjoyed nutritiously by kids and adults. My friend uses Somen noodles - a thin, white Japanese noodles made of wheat flour, when cooking for her 2-year-old because these noodles can be cooked fast (less than 3 minutes) and becomes soft when cooked - just perfect for a hungry (cranky) kid who is still learning to bite his food properly.
Moreover, spinach and wolfberries (gojiberries) are nutritious and healthy! Can you think of any side dish that goes with this noodle soup ? I can think of many...too many that I cannot tell you all at once right now.
Baby Spinach and Gojiberry Somen Noodles
Ingredients: Baby spinach; wolfberries, soaked in warm water for 5 minutes to soften; Somen noodles, white pepper, sesame oil
Directions: In a pot of boiling water, add the noodles and cook it softened. Add baby spinach and wolfberries and cook further for 1-2 minutes till spinach softened. Dash of white pepper for taste. Ladle noodle soup into bowl and drizzle few drops of sesame oil over the noodle soup before serving.
Time it! It takes less than 10 minutes (time zero when the water starts to boil) to cook this. A quick and light noodle soup serving up at Cook Almost Anything , who is hosting PPN #137 (runs from 24th Oct - 29th Oct 2009) this week.
