Happy Monday!

For a Monday, I am rather chipper.

Why, you ask?

It is the week of Chopped Con! A food blogging conference that happens to be here in KC. And with that, my blogging friends from all over the US are venturing this way! Which makes this preggo extremely ecstatic. As in, this babe better stay in another week so I can waddle my way to the conference!

Along with nesting that we discussed last week, I have started making freezer meals. I am rather puzzled to why I haven’t started this  earlier. As in, before and during pregnancy! The amount of nights my poor husband has had to have countless leftovers or breakfast for dinner has been rather alarming since my desire to cook continues to stray.

They seem to be lifesavers! So please tell me why I haven’t been doing this for years? Oya.

Do you have any freezer meal favorites? Any go to’s that I MUST try? I am all ears and dying for easy and flavorful meals to whip up for those nights after the babe gets here and I am dog tired but starving. I have a feeling there will be one too many of those. What can I say, I love need my sleep!

One meal that has been on repeat since I fell in love with it a local restaurant, are these Chicken Udon Bowls. Have you ever had or heard of Udon bowls? Take them as Japenese chicken noodle soup bowls. Which happen to be one of my favorite fall and winter meals.

These bowls are filled with juicy chicken, tender crisp vegetables, such as mushrooms, carrots, garlic, green onions, jalapenos and napa cabbage all in a homemade ginger broth. These bowls have a few things going for them; they are super simple, whip up in no time and full of flavor. Something every dish should be!

I chose to use whole wheat linguine noodles rather than udon noodles because they can be rather difficult to find. So feel free to use whichever you can get your hands on, but the wheat flavor is what gives these bowls an authentic flavor.

The only thing missing is a pair of chopsticks. Dig in!

Ingredients

  • Broth:
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 green onion stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 6 ounces whole wheat linguine noodles or dried udon noodles if you can find them
  • Soup:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/4 cup diagonally cut green onions
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
  • To Serve:
  • Basil
  • Cilantro
  • Sliced Green Onions

Instructions

  1. Broth: In a medium stock pot, add the mushrooms, chicken stock, ground ginger, garlic cloves and green onions. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the linguine noodles or udon noodles according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm when cooked.
  3. After the broth has simmered for 10 minutes, drain broth and reserve. Reserve vegetables as well. Set both aside.
  4. Soup: In the same stock pot, heat over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Add the carrots, green onions, jalapeno, garlic clove, ginger, pepper and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Add the white wine, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and reserved vegetables back in, along with the chicken, soy sauce and honey. Cook until heated, 5 - 7 minutes. Right before serving, add the napa cabbage and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. To serve, place a spoonful of noodles into a bowl. Ladle one to two spoonfuls over the noodles. Garnish with basil, cilantro and additional sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

    Freezer meals are great for everybody!! The past few months I have been obsessed with easy Mexican food from black bean and corn salsa which can be a salad to burrito bowls that is basically my fave salsa (black bean/corn) with rice to Mexican lasagne which is the BBC salsa layered with tortillas and lots of cheese. You can eat Mexican just not hot and spicey!! When I make any of these dishes I make two or three recipes then bag in food saver bags, label and freeze. (lasagne goes in a toss it aluminum pan). Breakfast is better at night, especially if you aren't a morning person, just sayin'!! Enjoy the blogvention then go home and pop your little one out, they are easier to play with plus you can put them down!!

      I couldn't agree more Judy! And that sounds insanely delicious! We love mexican food and oddly enough I can't have it during these last few weeks but hoping that changes post baby! I will have to give your ideas a try as we love all those meals! And thank you! This week should be fun with my blogging friends :)

    We love Asian food, and this soup sounds (and looks) incredibly delicious! It's definitely a 'must try' for me, since I already have most of the ingredients on hand, except that I still need to get Napa cabbage on my next trip to the supermarket. I'm giving this recipe 4 stars, only because I haven't yet made it...., but I'm sure we'll vote it 5 stars when it's on our dinner table. Thanks for a very lovely recipe.

    I'm confused with the step "drain and reserve broth". What is being drained from it? It looks like we're supposed to put the broth in another container temporarily and then put it all back after cooking the carrots. Is that the case?
    Reply
    • Meg says

      March 26, 2016 at 6:14 am

      Hi Ginny, that step refers to step one when you made the flavored broth with the mushrooms, chicken stock, ground ginger, garlic cloves and green onions. You drain the vegetables and reserve the broth. Hope that helps!
