Guys! This recipe was a total happy accident. I really did not feel like going to the grocery story so I decided to play ‘Chopped’, Taylor Walker Fit style. Cory and I have been traveling a ton so I have not had much time to cook. I know the blog has been a bit light on the recipe side, but hopefully this one will make up for it!
I have used buckwheat soba noodles in this Veggie Stir Fry recipe. As I have stated before, buckwheat or soba noodles are fat, cholesterol and gluten-free. They are a great source of manganese, lean protein, thiamine and carbohydrates. Studies have also shown that soba noodles are a better source of carb for diabetics because it has been concluded that glucose is released into the blood stream at a slower pace after consumption than its wheat counterparts. You will find soba or buckwheat noodles in the international food aisle. They come in pre-portioned bundles and cook in under three minutes!
So Let’s Eat Shall We?
Make Homemade Chicken Soup! Here is my favorite recipe.
Ingredients:
4 C of Chicken Soup
2 Tbs Arrowroot Powder
4 Tbs Chicken Soup Broth
1 C Chopped Kale
3/4 C Chopped Zucchini
2 Bundles Buckwheat Noodles
1 Egg
2 Tbs of Mozzarella Cheese (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bring water to boil and cook noodles for 2 minutes then drain. Add to a greased pie dish and let cool.
Bring leftover soup to a boil. Add extra vegetables to the pot.
Combine 1 Tbs arrowroot powder with 2 tbs chicken broth and mix into soup. Do it again with the remaining powder and soup if your soup does not thicken. (You can do this with corn starch too, but arrowroot powder is a bit healthier for you and can be found in Fresh Market, Whole Foods or Any Health Food Store). Turn off the heat and you should see the soup thicken almost immediately.
Whisk an egg in a bowl and coat the noodles in the pie dish. I had to mix them vigorously since the noodles got a little sticky.
Top the noodles with the soup mixture and press into the dish. Top with cheese, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let set and cool for at least ten minutes.
Enjoy!
