food 001 | noodle night

 

inspired by olivia's noodle night, this "homemade pho" as we call it, has become a major staple in our apartment, even on hot summer nights. i like to use tons of mint leaves, jalapenos, scallions, bean sprouts, sugar snap peas, broccoli, zucchini, and then of course a healthy serving of siracha, hoisin sauce and lime juice. in a rather lame attempt to add some (already cooked) meat or poultry, i baked a small chicken breast, cut it roughly into strips and added it to our bowls. it made it kind of like a spicy chicken noodle soup.

(i was not about to mess with any raw or uncooked meats cooking in our broth.)
