This month Cooking Light has a couple of different noodle bowl options. I enjoy a good noodle bowl. I think this love probably dates back to pre- Sushi obsession. I used to hate sushi!! Could not stand it. Then suddenly one day I was in love with it. Simply cannot get enough of it. We were at Sushi 101 here in Charlotte for lunch. They have a good lunch special and this is what Chris gets whenever we go for lunch. Basically its whatever they want to give everyone for the day on the cheap. This particular day there was something involving shrimp and Chris was all like you really really need to try this. The shrimp is cooked after all. From that day on I was a sushi convert. Even sashimi. I am weird like that I suppose. It's strange how you can spend so long disliking something and then one good experience can change your whole opinion. I have a brussel sprout story along these lines but I am going to save it for a different ramble.
Anyways, Char Siu over Sesame Noodles is the noodle bowl we tried. I really enjoyed the sauce. This particular one did not come out as soupy as their picture but I followed the directions- who knows. I also cut down the chile paste because that stuff will light your fire. It's a little much for me. Chris of course slathered his in it as soon as he sat down, but what he does with his taste buds is his perogative.
