Friends, I have good news and bad news. I’ll just lead with the good stuff. I finally got in touch with Mary Ellen after her impromptu trip to the Caribbean. She doing so great. Just so great. Incidentally, she did get a little bit kidnapped. I don’t have the details, but her extraordinarily wealthy husband is refusing to pay the ransom because he found out she isn’t a natural blonde.
So much drama, am I right?
Anyway, I was craving some healthy Asian food after hearing about Mary Ellen’s plight (plus, when I tried to get in touch with her husband to see if he was DTF with her out of the picture, I realized he had blocked my number), so I decided to go with one of my stand-bys, Dragon Noodles. It has only 4 tbsp of butter, which is only half a stick, so this easily falls into the “healthy weeknight dinner” category. If only I had remembered to buy, cook, and then eat some vegetables…
Ingredients
4 tbsp butter
8 oz package of soba noodles
3 eggs
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Coconut aminos
Hot sauce (I used Cholula, though Sriracha is also good if you’re into that sort of thing)
Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Cook soba noodles in water per package directions
Melt about 1 tbsp of butter in a pan, and then scramble your eggs
Once eggs are cooked, set aside
Melt the remaining butter with garlic powder
Once pasta has been drained, place it back in the pot and pour butter mixture over it. Add a good amount of coconut aminos and some hot sauce, mix to coat. Then add eggs and serve.
This is a messy dish. It would maybe serve more than one person if after serving yourself a bowl, you didn’t immediately move the rest of the food within reach of your chopsticks.
Spice up your life
