Bowl of Noodles

And chicken feet. Hee hee.

The Mouse couldn’t decide what to do with the chicken feet he picked up last week. In the end, simply soup. Long and slow. Apple cider vinegar, star anise, whiskey.

First serving, a bowl of soba noodles, chicken feet with soup, more whiskey, dried seaweed, asparagus.

A counterpoint to Saturday “indulgence”. 🙂

Soup

The last of the pork “brisket” bones. Not bad, $3.00 for the bag, three pots of soup.

The Mouse added miso (instead of salt) and frozen vegetables at the end to finish. The Cat slurped. 🙂

Stay well and safe.

Soup

This week. Pork rib tips (brisket), carrot (market out of turnip), Chinese dried date, seaweed, goji berry, and residual miso marinade from the butterfish. No recipe, throw everything in and hope for the best. Hee hee.

Pork Miso Soup

The Mouse thinks the flavors were well matched.

The Cat liked.

No Recipe Soup

Super simple. Quick chicken stock from roasted chicken bones (Costco comes to mind). Remove bones, add vegetables (in this case celery and tinned bamboo shoot), drop scrambled egg when done, dribble oil to garnish (toasted sesame seed this time, but fragrant olive oil works too).

Stay well and safe.
