Udon is a thick, spaghetti-like Japanese noodle that you can find in most major supermarkets. We love this recipe and our kids do too and it's so easy to make, which makes it an all-around winner. I thought you might enjoy it too so decided to share it with you. Enjoy!
6 c. chicken broth
2 inches fresh ginger, unpeeled + roughly chopped
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. lime juice (about 2 limes)
1.5 tsp. kosher salt
pinch hot pepper flakes
4 Thai or regular basil leaves, plus more for garnish
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1 full breast)
1 package (12 oz.) udon, cooked according to package instructions
1. In a large pot, combine broth, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, pepper flakes, and basil leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 mins. Add chicken breast and simmer 15 more mins. Remove chicken from broth and transfer to a cutting board. Allow to cool, then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2. Meanwhile, strain broth and discard solids. Season w additional salt if desired. In each of 4 bowls, mound 1/2 cup cooked noodles and top with 3 or 4 chicken slices. Pour hot broth over top. Garnish with few basil leaves and DIG IN! If you have any leftover, it's even better after 24 h as the ginger intensifies and develops a richer, fuller soup broth. Gevaarlijk lekker (dangerously good)!

Hey! This sounds delicious, which reminds me of Hiroko (spelling?) Do you ever hear from her. And by the way, I forgot to tell you I ran into Charlotte at the Mexican restaurant (Los Gallos) in Boardman. She had a baby and I guess is working there. I didn't recognize her b/c she didn't have her nose ring!
I'm looking for a pumpkin cookie recipe. I think I might have one... but I'm not sure.
I love that line "I didn't recognize her cuz she didn't have a nose ring!" I can hear Courtenay snorting to that one. I have a great recipe for easy pumpkin and black bean soup.
Love to all....
What nose ring? Did she wear one? Yes, Kelley mentioned she saw Charlotte but I haven't been able to get her address/phone. It would be nice to stay in touch. Hiroko stays very busy with work but drops an email/card from time to time. Alex really bonded with her and would like to see her in Japan someday. I told her we'd go for her 16th birthday! Found a decent cookie recipe on cooks.com
did i mention how easy this recipe is?
I can verify that this soup recipe is delicous, cause Courts made it while we were there! We'll definitely be making this one here at home! BTW, whose baby is it? Mom
The recipe came from Oprah magazine, May issue, but I think you're referring to Charlotte's baby, which came from her Romanian boyfriend Chip.
