Healthy Ramen Bowls

January 24, 2022 by zimmysnook 2 Comments

Healthy ramen bowls. This image shows two bowls of ramen and how all the ingredients are placed in the bowl.

Ramen Bowls. Perfect comfort food on a cold winter day!

This super simple, incredibly tasty meal satisfies all the senses. Colourful, fresh, warming, flavourful, and before you realize it, you will be slurping up all this delicious broth, packed with noodles, veggies, soft eggs, and a dash of heat!

This is an image of the ingredients used to make ramen soup.

Note: The vegetables I use to flavour the broth are typically the last rubbery carrot in the bag, the hearts of an old celery, halves of onions sitting in the fridge, that I keep around to flavour stocks. Feel free to use what you have available or skip this step. Either way, the soup will be delicious!

It was a pleasure to create this recipe in partnership with Egg Farmers of Canada. Opinions in this post are always my own.

Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

Broth

  • 4 cups broth no salt added or low sodium – I used 2 cups chicken and 2 cups mushroom broth
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 celery stock
  • 1 Small onion
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • Handful of cilantro with stems

Ramen

  • 2 Ramen cakes 70 g each – I used a millet & brown rice ramen
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce less sodium
  • ½ tablespoon chili paste
  • 4 ounces mushrooms I used small whole shitake
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 baby Bok choy halved lengthways (151 g)
  • 2 cups Kale stems removed and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • ½ medium carrot cut into matchsticks
  • ⅛ of a small red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced on a long diagonal
  • 1 long red chili thinly sliced on a diagonal

Instructions
 

  • Combine the broth ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a bowl and then simmer for at least 20 minutes.
  • In a saucepan bring four cups of water to a boil, then add the two Ramen cakes. When noodles begin to unfold, separate gently with a fork, and reduce heat to a low boil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes or until noodles are just soft. Strain through a colander and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • Remove the vegetables from the broth and discard. Add the soy sauce and chili paste, stir to combine. Add the mushrooms to the broth and continue to simmer on low.
  • Fill the saucepan with water and bring to a low boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the two eggs into the water and cook for 6 minutes.
  • While the eggs cook, add the Bok choy and kale to the broth. Remove eggs to a bowl with ice water to stop them from over cooking. Add the corn to the egg water for 2 minutes then strain.
  • Peel and halve the eggs.
  • Prepare two large bowls with half of the Ramen noodles in each. Pour over half the broth into each bowl, portioning the Bok choy, and mushrooms evenly between the two bowls. Layer each bowl with piles of the corn, carrots, cabbage, two egg halves, then garnish with green onions, red chilies, and sesame seeds.
  • Serve with hot sauce, more sliced onions, chilies, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Note: The vegetables I use to flavour the broth are typically the last rubbery carrot in the bag, the hearts of an old celery, halves of onions sitting in the fridge, that I keep around to flavour stocks. Feel free to use what you have available or skip this step. Either way, the soup will be delicious!

Winter Cobb Salad

I can never decide if a Cobb salad is, a meal that eats like a salad or a salad that eats like a meal? But whichever it is, it is always delicious!

This winter version made with local eggs, squash, beets, apples, greenhouse tomatoes, chicken, and bacon, then finished a maple-Dijon dressing is the ideal comfort meal to warm the soul, fill the tummy and brighten a chilly winter day.

Servings 2 people

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Salad

  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil enough to cover onions
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 slices of bacon
  • 2 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on, 5.5 – 6 oz per thigh, uncooked
  • 9 ounces butternut squash cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups kale washed, stems removed, chopped
  • 1 roasted beet cut into small cubes (purchased already roasted or roast at home)
  • ½ apple sliced (honey crisp or your favourite apple)
  • 2 small tomatoes sliced (different coloured heirlooms, or tomatoes on the vine)
  • ½ avocado sliced (optional)
  • 2 ounces stilton cheese or other blue cheese

For Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate arils optional
  • 2 tablespoons roasted pistachios

Instructions
 

Dressing

  • In a small mason jar combine maple syrup, olive oil, mustard, vinegar, and salt. Shake well to combine. Set aside.
  • Marinated onions – In a very small bowl or ramekin, combine the onions, olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let sit on the counter for 1 – 24 hours. This will soften the taste of the onions. (When done the leftover olive oil is flavoured and perfect for frying tomorrow mornings eggs!)

Salad

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place an 11-inch (oven safe) skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon to your desired doneness.
  • Remove the bacon to a plate and set aside.
  • Place the chicken, skin side down into the bacon fat in the hot skillet, then cook for 5-6 minutes over medium heat.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add the squash. Toss the squash cubes in the chicken and bacon fat renderings. Flip the chicken over and spread the squash out in one layer (if your skillet is not oven proof, transfer the chicken, squash, and any liquid to a baking sheet). Place the chicken & squash into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, gently flipping the squash occasionally. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, and the squash is tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven cover until ready to serve.
  • While the chicken cooks, bring a small pot of water to a light rolling boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once the eggs have cooled enough to manage, peel the eggs, and cut them into halves or quarters.
  • Pile the kale onto a shallow serving platter (or two plates). Arrange piles of the eggs, squash, bacon, avocado, apple, beets, tomatoes, and cheese. Remove the bone from the chicken thigh by pulling it out from the underside, then slice the chicken into 3 or 4 slices or leave whole thighs, bone-in.
  • Serve with chives, pomegranate arils, pistachios.
  • Drizzle dressing over the salad and enjoy!

Niçoise Inspired Salad with Wild Sockeye Salmon

A top down image of a Niçoise inspired salad with wild sockeye salmon. Four pieces of salmon are in the middle of the plate with corn, tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, soft boiled eggs, lettuce and cucumber. Surrounding the plate is a package of the frozen salmon, olives, capers, marinated onions, dressing cutlery, dishes and four glasses of wine.

Niçoise Inspired Salad with Wild Sockeye Salmon

“Quality ingredients, simply prepared” is the foundation for how I cook. Selecting the ingredients is as much of a consideration as the method, time, or seasoning, in the overall execution of the meal.

Understanding where my food comes from is very important in determining the quality, as production/farming/harvesting methods, and their impact on the environment are key factors in quality to me.

When I am cooking a seafood dish, I use MSC certified sustainable products. By checking for the MSC blue fish label I know I can trust this seafood is coming from a certified sustainable fishery that doesn’t engage in illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing activity. I feel better knowing that the MSC is safeguarding seafood supplies for future generations and making the ocean healthier tomorrow than it is today.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to start following @MSCbluefish on Instagram to learn more about their work to end overfishing and find out how you join the movement for a #BigBlueFuture. Also check out www.MSC.org for their all-new “Where to buy MSC certified seafood” page and make the switch to certified sustainable seafood.

Now that we’ve chosen our Wild Sockeye Salmon, it is time to make this delicious salad and EAT!

Disclosure: I have participated in a paid partnership with MSC. Opinions in this post are my own.

If you have been following us for awhile, you know that understanding where our food comes from is particularly important to Elaine & me. That is why we look for MSC certified sustainable seafood options when creating meals, like this Niçoise Inspired Salad with Wild Sockeye Salmon. #BigBlueFuture

  • 180 g haricots verts, stems removed (6 oz)
  • 3-4 free range eggs

  • ½ cup assorted olives
  • ¼ cup capers, drained
  • Marinated onions, optional
  • Fresh dill sprigs

Vinaigrette:

  • 1/4 cup champagne vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup good olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Blanch the haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1.5 minutes only. Using a spider, a metal strainer or tongs Remove the haricots verts and immerse directly into a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same boiling water cook the corn and eggs for 4.5 – 5 minutes only. Remove and immerse in a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
  • For the vinaigrette, combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Mix in the chopped dill and set aside.
  • Add the potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Lower the heat to a rolling simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then place the colander with the potatoes over the empty pot off the heat and cover with the lid. Leave the potatoes for 5 minutes, to dry out. Then gently toss in a bowl with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Set aside.
  • Season the skin of the fish generously with salt, and the flesh with salt & pepper.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. When the oil begins to shimmer, lay the fish down in the pan. Cook it for 5 minutes on the skin side, then flip it over to cook for 30 seconds on the other side. Remove salmon and set aside.
  • Arrange the lettuce, arugula, salmon, potatoes, haricots verts, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, and eggs on a large flat platter. Drizzle some vinaigrette over the fish and vegetables and serve the rest on the side with the olives, capers, and marinated onions (if using) and dill sprigs.

Juicy Turkey Kale & Feta Burgers

A tray of open-faced turkey kale & feta burgers, buns green beans, sliced red onions, chips, dip, broccoli slaw and roasted red peppers. Dishes, glasses, plates and glasses surround this tray.

Juicy Turkey Kale & Feta Burgers

Now, if you are an only child, then by default, you are dad’s favourite. However, if you have siblings, you are going to want to make these burgers for Father’s Day… then assume your place as #1 favourite child.

I’ve partnered with the incredible people and products Earthbound Farm to create this delicious recipe.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 fire roasted red pepper, from a jar, diced
  • 2 packed cups Earthbound Organic Baby Kale, chopped into small pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 pounds ground turkey
For serving
  • 6 brioche burger buns
  • 3 fire roasted red peppers, from a jar, sliced in half lengthwise (or long strips)
  • Handful of Earthbound Organic Baby Kale
  • Earthbound Organic Broccoli Slaw with Cider Dressing
Hummus Yogurt sauce
  • 1/2 cup your favourite store bought (or homemade) hummus
  • 1/3 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
Turkey Kale & feta burger ingredients.
PREPARATION

In a small bowl, stir together the hummus, yogurt, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Taste and add more lemon juice or hot sauce if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, then salt and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the kale and diced red pepper, cover and cook until wilted, about 2-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.

While the kale cools, in a large bowl, mix together the garlic, Dijon, dill, pepper, feta, then add the kale mixture and panko breadcrumbs, mix to combine. Add the turkey and work the mixture through the meat.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal sized patties. (Approximately 6 1/4 ounces each)

Place a layer of waxed paper on a plate or tray and place the patties in one layer on the waxed paper. Cover with waxed paper, then foil or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours. (I prefer cooking turkey burgers from frozen, so I make them a day or two ahead)

Preheat the grill on medium-high. Just before grilling brush the burgers with a little olive oil on both sides (adds a nice char to a lean meat) Grill the patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

To serve, spread a layer of the hummus-yogurt sauce, add a layer of kale, then red peppers, the patty and a spoonful of the slaw. Put the burger top on and enjoy!

(Red onions and pickled jalapeños are a delicious addition too!)

Red Thai Curry Peanut Sauce and Vegetables

May 6, 2021 by zimmysnook Leave a Comment

A top down image of a pan and a bowl of Red Thai curry peanut sauce and vegetables. Also layed out is cilantro, crushed peanuts, chopped chives and a pot of sauce.

Red Thai curry peanut sauce and vegetables served over rice or noodles.

Having prepared jars of curry paste in the cupboard is an effective way to create flavour packed meals in mere minutes. This combination of red curry and peanuts work together to create a thick, creamy, delicious sauce that’s incredible over whatever vegetables you have on hand for a meatless meal or great with the addition of chicken, turkey, pork, shrimp or tofu.

For this recipe I used the vegetables I had on hand… the pepper that was just starting to wrinkle, some bok choy that the tips of the leaves were beginning to yellow, the last lonely carrot in the bag, plus frozen corn & peas that I always have on hand to add to curries, stews, soups, savoury pies, etc. So, before you go shopping check to see what you have on hand and toss it in… cauliflower florets, mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, whatever!

Ingredients
Sauce
  • 1 can light coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened natural peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (sriracha, chili sauce, or hotter, based on your enjoyment)
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or mushroom broth
Vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced rings
  • Thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled an thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 red chilies, thinly sliced rings
  • Small bell pepper, thinly sliced strips (I used yellow)
  • 1 medium sized carrot, cut into 2” matchsticks (or thin circles)
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced on the diagonal
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 6 baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup of sugar snap peas
For serving
  • Four prepared servings of your favourite rice or noodles
  • Extra crushed peanuts, chopped chives, cilantro and lime wedges for finishing
Preparation

Pour the coconut milk into a small 1.5 Qt saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle bubbling. Add the peanut butter, curry paste, hot sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and garlic. Whisk and keep on medium simmer (gentle bubbling) heat for 10-15 minutes or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

An image of two pans on the range with vegetables and other ingredients ready

Add the peanuts and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add small amounts of broth at a time and whisk to combine. Simmer for 3-5 more minutes

While the sauce simmers heat a 3.5 Qt covered pan over medium heat. Add the canola & sesame oil, then add the shallot and cook for 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and chilies, cook for 2 minutes more. Add the bell pepper, carrots and celery, season with salt & pepper, cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the corn, peas, bok choy & snap peas, toss to combine, cover with lid, and cook until the bok choy is just tender (but still slightly firm), 3-5 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Combine cooked vegetables, rice or noodles, and pour over sauce.

Stir to combine. Finish with crushed peanuts, chives, cilantro and squeeze of lime.
