Easy Does It

Well, my dear ooey glued reader best laid plans for my cleanse/detox and writing articles thereof hath gone astray.  My efforts lead to lack of balance in my life and serious backlash into even worse tendencies than that of just a few weeks ago.  None of the promised blogging on aforementioned recipes got done either.  Something that may have gone unnoticed.

Fear not brave travellers!!  Fall down 7 times, get up 8!!!

With lessons in balance and humility once again remedialized we carry on with our best recipes for success.  This one designed to help you out when minimal effort is the order of the day.

Instant Kimchi Noodles with Sprouts, Watercress, and Basil

You will need:

One package O Instant Noodles (I like the Korean Kimchi or Spicy Noodle, go with your favourite or what you have on hand)
Bag O' Bean Spouts (handily available fresh and grown locally here in Ontario)
Watercress (was on sale for 99 cents at the supermarket.  US import, why not?)
Basil or Thai Basil (Mint? Sure!! Use what is available.  Catching a theme here?)

So, I used:

1. Prepare in the usual way, or not.  Directions on ze package.  I like to use a bit more water than called for.  The soup mixture is pretty powerful stuff and contains about 1/2 one's sodium intake for the day but these minor demons can be overlooked in the name of avoiding another night of grabbing a burrito at El Camino's Burrito Emporium (Good as they are).

2. Break out your array of accountrements and trim/rinse as necessary.

3. Decant noodles into bowl and crown that puppy with your glorious herbiage. 

Et viola!  How could you possibly go wrong with this?

Maybe not the best thing to be eating every night of the week.  Those instant noodles aren't the most healthsome thing one can consume, but I never heard any stories yet of university students keeling over from sodium and suphite poisoning.  Good in a pinch, very savoury and satisfying. 

If you want to health it up you could do up your own noodles with a good stock or sauce.  You could go gluten free, rice noodles, or whatever.  It wouldn't be much more effort to put this into the super healthy wholesome category.

Enjoy!
