Another day, another noodle soup. Bún riêu cua (Vietnamese crab noodle soup) is one of my favorite childhood soups. If you’ve never had it, it’s a tangy tomato and freshwater crab based bowl of blissful soup with “riêu”, or meatballs, made of crab and usually ground pork.
Here's what you need to make this bacon chicken alfredo: bacon, chicken breasts, linguine, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, mushroom seasoning, and parmesan cheese.
Peanut butter noodles have turned into a frequent request in our house ever since I made my version. This is Chris’s take on the nutty dish. Let us know what you guys think!
This creamy chicken pasta is the happy result of being hungry after returning from a week away from home, not having done any groceries, and having only what was available in the fridge and pantry. Using some chicken, pasta and cherry tomatoes, along with some other miscellaneous items, we ended up with this deliciously creamy chicken pasta that we’ll definitely be making again and again.
Vietnamese chicken curry (cà ri gà) is a dish that I grew up eating as a child. It’s a bowl of cozy comfort packed with curry and lemongrass flavors. I could eat bowls and bowls of this with LOTS of freshly toasted baguette slices for dipping.
I don’t know about you guys, but lately, I’ve been looking for ways to use up all the things that have been lying around in my fridge and pantry. Today’s experiment is this kickin’ pumpkin pasta. The sauce is made with garlic, onions, chicken broth, cream, and of course, pumpkin purée. For an extra kick, I added a bit of Weber Kick’n Chicken Seasoning.
There’s nothing that quite screams fall like a hearty beef stew. This beef stew is chock full of tender chunks of juicy beef, carrots, onion, garlic, tomato, and a few good glugs of red wine. Pair it with some buttered egg noodles and you’ve got yourself a cozy, satisfying, belly-warming meal.
This kimchi bacon udon stir fry is so easy to make and so satisfying! In this dish, kimchi shines as a component of the dish, rather than as a condiment. The dish is full of heat and balanced with tangy kimchi and subtle sweetness from raw honey. For all you spice lovers out there, this dish is hands down a must-try! And the fact that kimchi is full of probiotics and is good for you makes this stir fry a tasty no-brainer for your next meal!
This egg drop tomato soup is a novice-friendly treat that relies heavily on fridge and pantry staples. It's one of my go-to's on days when I'm in the mood for soup but don't have hours to simmer broth because it's super-speedy and insanely good. I like mine spicy so I add chili oil and lots of sambal at the end, but this soup is completely versatile so don't be afraid to experiment! Also, be sure to use good quality, ripened tomatoes to get the best flavor! We use our very own homegrown campari tomatoes.
There’s nothing quite like a nice hot bowl of wholesome chicken noodle soup. This chicken noodle soup has toothsome noodles, tender poached chicken, nutritious bok choy, fresh chopped scallions, and an aromatic broth that you can’t stop slurping. The soy sauce-based broth contains ginger, which is particularly good for colds. Poaching in broth also happens to be a great way to cook chicken and as far as this recipe is concerned, is guaranteed to give you moist, tender, chicken every time.
These saucy stir fried chicken and noodles are made with quick-cooking wide rice noodles in a sweet, savory, and spicy sauce. Feel free to add any veggies you might have on hand - they’ll soak up all the yummy sauce and become really addictive!
