Recipes
Ginger Noodle Soup with Asian Greens
from Naturallyella.com
This is a great soup for winter colds, and is delicious with tatsoi or our Chinese cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 bunch scallions
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 head tatsoi or chinese cabbage
4 ounces ramen noodles (see note)
Salt, if desired
Sesame Seeds, for topping
Red Pepper Flakes, for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
In a stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Trim the ends off the scallions and chop up the light green stem. Save the dark green tops for topping. Next, add the scallions to the pot with the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic and ginger is fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
While broth is simmering, cut the end off the head of greens. Cut off the stems and then cut the stems into thin strips. Roll the leaves together and also cut into strips.
Add the stems to the broth and cook for 5 minutes or until stems are starting to be tender. Follow with the leaves and cook for another 5 minutes more. Finally, stir in the ramen and simmer soup until the noodles and greens are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Taste and add salt as needed.
Divide soup into two bowls. Then top with chopped scallion greens, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes
Market News
Hello!
Winter has sure arrived with fury! We’ve had much wind, sleet and brutally cold temperatures. Our crops have been snuggled in tight in our hoohouses and so far have survived. Tonight’s temperature is the lowest yet so we are keeping our fingers crossed!
This is the last week of deliveries until the New Year! We will NOT be delivering on Wednesday, December 28th. We plan on returning January 4th, but that week will be weather dependent. We will let you know, of course!! For now, please stock up on frozen items, dry goods, veggies and eggs for the coming weeks!
We have lots of items for your holiday needs! Your special meals can include lots of local meats and produce. We also have some nice ideas for gift giving!
We have Gift Certificates available! Get a friend started with Fresh Harvest, or support someone you know is already using our service.
