Asian-inspired chicken and noodle soup
I’ve been sick the last week or so, but I’ve moved from the point where I’m not hungry and have no energy to cook to the point where I’m still feeling like crap, dont’ really have energy, but am out of the anything effortless to make (including canned soup).
Did I mention that I really haven’t done much grocery shopping in the last month, beyond one major meat restocking?

Last weekend, I went to Chinatown with my parents. While there, I did some pantry shopping (mmmm chile-garlic sauce!), ate lots and lots and lots of dim sum, and stopped by my favorite little barbecue joint and picked up some roasted duck and pork (both split with my parents). Today, I threw together a quick stir fry — 1.5c (uncooked) brown rice, 1 head of bok choy, your typical aromatics (celery/carrot/onion), the meats, and a little stir fry sauce (2Tbs soy sauce, 2 tsp chile garlic sauce, 1 Tbs sherry or rice wine, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp hoisin, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tsp ginger paste). It was fairly good for something I literally threw together, and I’m definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s lunch (leftovers!), but I think next time, I may add some chiles…
Here are some photos of my trip!
