Noodles In Ginger Broth

Noodles in Ginger Broth.

Another day and another noodles. Our love for noodles is evident with the number of times we make it in a month. Trying different options, flavours and varieties of noodles is something we look forward to.

Every time I try something different in noodles I remember my school days. There was a friend of mine whose mum used to make amazing noodles for her lunch box. We didn’t share our lunch boxes often, but during group lunches I always jumped at those noodles in her box. And every time I ate that I craved for more. I used to come back home and ask my mom to make the exact noodles but could never explain to her what I exactly was craving for and my mom would try different kinds of noodles to please me. Every trial of my mum was amazing but it couldn’t replicate the exact thing. There was no such thing as WhatsApp moms group at that time where she could go and ask for help for the exact recipe. Ah! I miss those simple days.

I make this vegan meal with homemade ginger and garlic broth, sautéed vegetables, fresh herbs and rice stick noodles. The addition of star anise in the broth gives it a beautiful and mild aniseed flavour which balances the ginger well. Love to garnish it with toasted sesame seeds, red chilli flakes and some spring greens. 

This is such a simple, comforting and flavourful meal to come together.
