One-Pot Asian Noodles

We’ve been on a one-pot shabu-shabu-style Asian noodle kick lately. The foundation of this warming one-pot Asian noodle soup is this recipe originally featured in an issue of Sunset Magazine from way way back.
I’ve added a few more ingredients like kombu for an extra dose of iodine and iron, shiitake mushrooms and ginger for an immunity boost and sriracha for a bit of heat. Into the lovely broth go noodles—either rice sticks or mung bean threads. On top of the noodles goes your protein of choice and loads of veggies. Cover, steam, and that’s it! All done in about 30 minutes—and in one pot. I like that part a lot.

I am drawn to dishes with as much colour as this one. I made a version of this soup last night, and it was delicious! (Subbing vegetables and such to fit with my dietary requirements,). I even omitted the noodles, and it's still awesome. I think this will be in my winter meal plan rotations for a few years yet!
Thanks, Lexie =)
