Simple Ramen Bowl: Make It Your Way
Recently, like the rest of the planet, I have become obsessed with making my own noodle bowls. I love them because although they are healthy and light, you can jam pack them full of vegetables to satisfy even the hungriest guests.
I build my bowls with meat or vegetable based broth and of course noodles (I love soba or udon the best). I then choose a selection of vegetables, meat, eggs, garnishes etc to fill up the rest of the bowl.
Note: You can make this meal vegan by using vegetable stock, tamari and stick to vegetables, mushrooms etc.
For the broth all you really need is chicken, beef or vegetable stock. You can of course build upon that basic stock.
I slowly bring 3 cups of stock up to a gentle boil. Then I add some garlic cloves, a small chunk of ginger (or galangal), several dried mushrooms and splashes of mirin seasoning and soy sauce. I find this makes enough broth for 2 bowls.
I add boiling water to a large bowl and add 2 serves of soba noodles. I let them soften over 8 minutes and then give them a good rinse.
Now this is the best bit, building the bowls. 🙂
Add noodles to each person’s serving bowl. Then pour enough broth to cover the noodles and then stack the bowls to the brim with everything else.
Serving
Now you just need to sit down with your guests and and provide lots of garnishes and condiments. I love a few dried onions and a healthy squirt of sriracha hot sauce.
Happy slurping,
PK

Radishes
Many varieties of this crisp and crunchy edible root can be grown all year round in Perth, Western Australia. They are very easy to grow and my children love watching their rapid growth and asking where Peter Rabbit is :).
You can have fresh radishes all year round by simply planting a new batch every 2 – 3 weeks.
Taste/Aroma:
Most people are familiar with the sharp bite it brings to salads and sandwiches. They even go well in soup. Although some varieties are milder than others it is a love or hate thing I am afraid :).
Did you also know:
- that you can also eat the leaves and sprouts?
- they go great in stirfrys (for example radish carrot and edamame stir fry)?
- you can pickle them (I have some daikon growing and will give this a try soon)?
Cherry Belle
Daikon
French Breakfast
Growing Months:
- All months
Planting/Care:
Simply sow directly where they will be growing (choose a spot in full sun if you can) every 2 – 3 weeks. The soil should be full of composted organic matter and be well draining.
Don’t over do it on the nitrogen front when fertilising or the plants will put too much effort into growing leaves.
Sometimes the seedlings work themselves up and out of the soil, holding on by just a few roots. Gently pull them out and transplant them a bit deeper.
