Today I got up and felt like some cleansing noodle soup. I made some 'bee hoon' soup.

I have to say, nothing beats making stock from scratch with chicken bones, pork bones etc. But when you're in a rush or can't go to the fridge, pull out a pot of stock and say "here's some we prepared earlier!", then Vegeta stock is really the way to go. I like to use some in my minestrone to give it that extra lift. I also like to use it in my noodle soups to help give it a fuller flavour.

Soo...here's how I made this quick noodle soup.

  1. Sautee chopped garlic in olive oil in a pot.
  2. Add chilli and/or sambal oelek if desired.
  3. Add diced chicken and cook until it's starting to brown.
  4. Add water with dissolved Vegeta stock and bring to the boil.
  5. Add chinese vegetables, sliced beef balls and 'beehoon' that's been presoaked in water.
  6. Let simmer for a few minutes.
  7. Serve with fresh cut chilli and coriander.

For dinner, I had half a lobster on a bed of salad with rosemary infused butter, and homemade cajun wedges. *slurp*
