Sundays are lazy days for me and this past Sunday I had to make a little something for dinner.
No leftovers from Saturday, awwww.
Not to worry I said, I'll whip up something quick and easy..and lets not forget delicious.
Now I don't know about you guys, but the first people that come to my mind are Rachael Ray and Nigella Lawson.
Nigella, music to my ears and a kitchen goddess, sounds good.
Instantly I found a video of her making a fantastic looking Noodle Soup, that I couldn't resist making!

Ingredients

6 ounces udon noodles (dried, from a packet)
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 star anise
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 cup bean sprouts
1 cup chopped patty pans/zucchini
3/4 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms (I used button mushrooms)
2 heads baby bok choy, finely sliced (I used broccoli instead)

2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves (optional)

Directions
Cook the noodles according to packet instructions and while the water is boiling fill a nearby saucepan with stock, brown sugar, star anise, ginger and soy sauce. (When the noodles are done, just drain them and put half in each bowl.)

When the flavored stock comes to a boil, add the vegetables. They should be cooked before 2 minutes are up.

Pour half into each bowl, over the cooked and drained noodles and sprinkle with cilantro.


Serves 2
