ASIAN SAUSAGE AND EGG NOODLE BOWL
We love the combo of crispy and creamy in this Asian-inspired dish. It fills us up and satisfies without leaving us feeling heavy or overstuffed. It's also a good opportunity to add any leftover veggies you have on hand, such as mushrooms, cauliflower or spinach. You can also use turkey or chicken breakfast sausage instead of pork. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, GA

Steps:
- 1. Note: I use breasts to keep it low fat. If you want a more traditional flavor use skin on bone in pieces of your choice. Adjust your cooking time.
- 2. Ingredient note: I use the tubes of ginger and lemongrass that you find in the produce section of the grocery. It's a time saver for me and I always have them on hand.
- 3. Place everything for the broth in a pot with about 3 quarts of water. Bring to a slow simmer and skim off the skum that rises.
- 4. When chicken is done remove it from the pot. About 20 minutes for boneless breasts. Leave the broth simmering.
- 5. Prepare your noodles according to package directions. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water.
- 6. Have all of your bowl ingredients ready. Put the snow peas, cabbage,and carrots in the broth. Turn up heat and cook on a low boil for 5 minutes.
- 7. While that's cooking assemble the bowls. Place noodles in first, top with spinach and sprouts.
- 8. Slice the chicken and place on top.
- 9. Ladle the hot broth into the bowls. The heat will be enough to cook the spinach and sprouts.
- 10. Serve immediately with the garnishes.

Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your noodle bowl will taste. This means using fresh vegetables, herbs, and noodles.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more nutritious and flavorful your noodle bowl will be. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and bok choy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different proteins: You can use chicken, beef, pork, or tofu in your noodle bowl. If you're using chicken or beef, be sure to cook it until it is cooked through.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings a noodle bowl together. There are many different sauces you can use, so experiment until you find one that you like. Some popular options include soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and peanut sauce.
- Top your noodle bowl with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include green onions, cilantro, peanuts, and sesame seeds.
