Did you know that ramen noodles are now cool?
Yeah, neither did I, until some foodie TV show enlightened me...
Apparently ramen noodles are high art in Japan, with restaurants springing up all over the place.
Ramen noodles are so hip that a few restaurants have opened in New York, too.
Who knew that those little twenty six cent packages of stomach filler could become so trendy...
Who didn't stock up on ramen noodles at the 7 Eleven as a poor college student?
It's a little scarey full circle-ish around here as
we have reintroduced the lowly ramen noodle into our family meal plan...
But, hey, they taste pretty good and the kids love to slurp the noodles.
In fact, Kate learned in class during the Chinese New Year lesson, that slurping noodles insures long life.
Slurp away, Sister!
Jack has a nasty cold and I didn't have time to make the full-on-from-scratch chicken soup.
Out of the pantry came the old ramen noodles...
doctored up with some fresh carrots, green onions and a little egg drizzled in.
Add to the meal some steamed edemame,
pan fried potstickers (frozen from Trader Joe's)
and some homemade dipping sauce,
and you have a meal,
fit for any urbanista from Japan....
