Coconut Ramen Curry with Soft Boiled Eggs and Snow Peas

Ramen is such perfect comfort food and endlessly customizable. I had a long teaching day today and then I hosted an Opera on Tap Maine: Opera Debuts event. In the hour and a half free time I had, I whipped up this bowl of yummy goodness and enjoyed it with a glass of white wine.

Sweet snow peas with a curry coconut broth, jammy eggs and ramen noodles, all topped with the allium sharpness of scallions and the heat from red chili flakes? Simple, delicious and just what I (and you) need.

Ingredients:

1 12 ounce can coconut of milk

2 ounces soy sauce

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 scallion, sliced

4 ounces of snow peas, sliced

6 ounce package of ramen noodles

2 eggs

3 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and oil

Method:

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add in the two eggs and bowl for 7 minutes. Plunge into an ice water bath. Add salt to the pot and add the ramen noodles, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking water, drain the pasta and rinse under warm water. Set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat; add the snow peas, season with salt and pepper and cook for 4 minutes until browned in places. Remove to a plate.

Add another tablespoon of oil; stir in the garlic, curry powder and half of the scallions. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, coconut milk and reserved cooking water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir in the vinegar. Taste the broth and check for seasoning.

Pile a bowl with noodles, snow peas and remaining scallions. Spoon over the broth. Peel the eggs and slice in half, placing over the noodles. Shake over some red pepper flakes and dig in!

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 3 russet potatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped 2 teaspoons curry powder 5 ounces peas Six 8 inch flour tortillas 4 ounces Greek yogurt Oil, salt, pepper, vinegar 4 tablespoons butter Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Raspberry Pomegranate Jam

Tis the season to be making homemade gifts! Pomegranates are in season and their juice is a festive deep ruby red color. I knew I had to make them into a jam to give away. Straight pomegranate flavor is a little tart for me; I added raspberries for the texture of their seeds and their sweetness. This is a very simple recipe to make and will yield 6 to 7 8 ounces jars of jam or 12 to 14 4 ounce jars, if you like to give away sample sizes during the holidays. Enjoy! Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups pomegranate juice 1 cup mashed raspberries 7 cups sugar 1 tablespoon butter 1 1/75 ounce package Sure Jell Method: Sterilize your jars and lids. Set aside. In a heavy bottomed large stock pot, add the pomegranate juice, raspberries and butter. Mix well. Add in the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil then stir in the Sure Jell. Allow to boil hard for 1 minutes. Remove from the heat and skim off any foam. Ladle into the sterile jars, twist on the lids and pr

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 sticks of
