In the Kitchen with Jane S. Morrissey

Ramen baby!

My biggest issue is that both my husband and my brother make better soup than I do… but I’ll keep trying.

Here’s the recipe I use from Damn Delicious: https://damndelicious.net/2014/10/13/easy-homemade-ramen/

EASY HOMEMADE RAMEN

INGREDIENTS:

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms

1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce

3 (5.6-ounce) packages refrigerated Yaki-Soba, seasoning sauce packets discarded*

3 cups baby spinach

8 slices Narutomaki, optional*

1 carrot, grated

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Cover eggs with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat; set aside for 8-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool before peeling and halving.

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Whisk in chicken broth, mushrooms, soy sauce and 3 cups water.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in Yaki-Soba until loosened and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in spinach, Narutomaki, carrot and chives until the spinach begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.

Serve immediately, garnished with eggs.



Tip – it’s all about getting the eggs just right

Book Description:

The mysterious and illusive Maliha Courtland has ensnared Ash Montgomery and he’s not happy about it. When she disappears, he is the only one who can track her. What he finds will change his life forever.

Not long after her recovery from a brutal demon attack Maliha finds herself a prisoner. As she fights for her sanity, she uncovers a part of herself she never could have imagined. Ash may be the one person who can keep her safe, but what will he have to sacrifice in the process?

Excerpt:
Ash approached her slowly, afraid she might dart into the woods. Moonlight lit the clearing and highlighted the silver streak running down the right side of Mali’s long dark hair.
He knew her energy now; it was as much a part of him as his next breath.
Standing with her hands on her hips, she looked nervous but determined. He stopped about two feet from her and waited, relishing the flare of desire mixed with apprehension.
“Okay.” She held his curious stare and inhaled as if she would say something. Closing her mouth, she paced a short distance away, muttering something curiously like a curse before pacing back. “I need to ask you a favor.”
Lips twitching with an effort not to smile, Ash put his hands in his pockets and waited. “Shoot.”

Pacing back to him, she planted her feet so they were nearly nose to nose. A spark of defiance glittered in her energy and ran cautious fingers through his. The sensation was . . . interesting.
