Noodle Bowl

When I worked for Boeing in Houston, the cafeteria in the building I worked in would have a special each week and my favorite was the noodle bowl. I love it so much that I started making it at home. It makes for a nice fresh meal with tender rice noodles and crunchy raw vegies. The hardest part is finding the noodles.

This dish is great for a buffet style lunch or light supper. Just place the bowls (you'll need some fairly large bowls as this will become a family favorite) at the top of the table, then the noodles and chicken, then the bowls of vegies/toppings, then the broth to pour a bit over the noodles and vegies, and finally the sauces to top it all off.

Ingredients:

• Rice noodles, cooked
  
• Chicken broth (can use broth after cooking chicken or purchase ready-made)
  
• Cooked chicken breast, cut or torn into bite sized pieces
• Soy sauce
• Fish sauce and/or Oyster sauce
  
• Variety of Asian sauces, mild or hot or both
• Salt and pepper
• Variety of vegies, chopped as needed into fairly small pieces
  
• Broccoli,
  
• Green peppers
• Green onions
• Bean sprouts
• Garlic (finely chopped or pressed)
• Tomatoes
• Jalepenos
• Cabbage
• Spinach
• Bamboo shoots
• Water chestnuts
• Mushrooms (fresh)
• Any other fresh vegies and herbs you can think of

I am so craving this right now .... guess I need to double my efforts at finding a job so I can afford the vegies, eh?

Shorah Y'all!
