Day 2:  Quick dinner theme.

I love Asian flavors and often cook with them.

Here I have a simple miso broth made with miso paste with soba noodles and salmon.

If you stock your pantry with basic Asian sauces – you can whip up a meal in no time.

I made a miso broth – while that was coming up to a boil – sear the salmon (or any protein you would like to use such as chicken, beef, pork or tofu).

Cook the soba noodles in the miso broth – just as the noodles are going to be cooked, add peas, carrots and I like to drop an egg into the broth.  Stir and you will get beautiful strands of egg in the broth which makes it looks richer.

When ready to serve – put the noodles in the bowl and top with the salmon and then spoon over the broth with vegetables.

Set out seasonings for the guests to customize their meal.

I like vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha and nori sheets.

Top with scallions and you have a healthful, delicious meal.

Until I cook again!
