Asian Noodle Soup

Hey guys! So this post isn't necessarily about green alternatives, but I definitely have a recipe I'm testing out. It will be up next week. In the mean time, here's a recipe I've made and think I've mastered. 

There are several Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup). It's similar to some noodle soups I tried in China. Feeling adventurous, I walked down to one of the many Asian food stores on my street and whipped up a soup I feel resembles those I've had in China :) Hope you enjoy it too. 

Asian Noodle Soup

Coconut Oil
2-3 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
6 cups water
6 green onions (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
3 boulouine cubes
1package rice noodles
1bunch cilantro, basil, or mint (chopped)
Lime wedges
Sliced fresh jalepeño

1. Heat oil in pan, add chicken. Cook until lightly pink. Add garlic and cook until no longer pink.
2. Add water, onion, and boulouine. Bring to boil.
3. Divide noodles into serving sizes. One serving at a time, dip noodles into boiling broth for 5-10 seconds. Remove with pasta spoon and place into bowl. Repeat for all servings.
4. Pour broth mixture over noodles.
5. Serve with herbs, limes, and jalepeño

Norwex Sandwhich Wrap

Took my Super Simple Banana Bread (recipe here) to work in my Norwex Sandwhich wrap. This stuff is soooooo great. It's washable, reusable, plastic wrap. Yes it is 10 dollars, but I did just buy myself a lifetime supply of plastic wrap. :)

Challenge: what else can you do with a Norwex Sandwhich Wrap?

Let me know if you'd like one, I can help you out.

Pour into loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.

When inserted toothpick comes out clean, take out of oven.
Let sit in pan for 2-3 minutes. Then flip out on to cooling rack.
Let cool for 5-15 minutes (depending on if you're going to enjoy immediately or wrap up for later)
Goes well with coffee, tea, my coworker says with peanut butter, with real butter, at breakfast, or dessert :) Enjoy
