I was a crammer. That means that I woke up at 6am when I was supposed to be at school by 7am. Luckily, I went to school in the province, so an hour difference bought me enough time. And because I woke up at a time just enough to afford me a bath, I didn't have time for breakfast. Now you probably understand why I looked forward to 9:30. It's the time when my famished self first gets replenished with well needed comestibles.
Isn't a hot broth to die for when your stomach has become starvation central? Oooooh how good a burp feels after you've warmed your tummy with soup. It lightens up your day in an instant. And after that first excrete of cold stomach air, you feel relieved that dry season is over. Stomach Spring Time has finally arrived.
You'll Need:
- egg noodles
- vegetables ( cabbage and carrots)
- chicken
- water
- salt and pepper
- pepper corns
- Garlic
How to:
- First boil your chicken for an hour in a potful of water with crushed garlic cloves, salt and pepper and about 5 peppercorns
- Pull the chicken out and let it cool. Save the broth.
- Once the chicken has cooled, shred it with your fingers. Discard the bones.
- Add the shredded cabbage, shredded chicken and chopped carrots in your potful of broth.
- Adjust the taste with salt and pepper
- Simmer for about three minutes
- Cook egg noodles in fast boiling water for about 4 minutes, drain, dip in cold water, drain again.
- Set your drained noodles in a bowl.
- Top with the broth
Serve.
Kain na!
Don't get me wrong. The best part of recess is not the burping. It's the eating!
Who says you have to spend for a great meal? This dish costs about P150.00 and can feed four hungry people for merienda. So get your cooking gear out and start the fire.
Your hot cook,
Hahan
