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!

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Cookies

Like many of you, I made an entire Thanksgiving Day feast for only my husband and I. As such, I have an inordinate amount of leftovers. Expect my blog to largely star ways to dress up leftovers, because I have freezer meals of Thanksgiving day to last a lifetime. In this recipe, I was looking for a way to use up cranberry sauce and leftover walnuts from my apple crisp. Cranberry sauce drop cookies seemed the perfect thing to make; enjoy it with a cup of hot cocoa. I plan on gifting some to my parents; a way to break bread near the holiday without breaking protocols. Enjoy!  Ingredients: 3 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 sticks of butter, softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 eggs 1 cup cranberry sauce 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup chopped nuts Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

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.

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 ...
