Hello friends... Good to see u again. I hope you are all fine there...and don't ask me how am I, boiling in 42 degree centigrade at Chennai today. Just back from Ooty yesterday. Very soon I am gonna post that. But now, another cool recipe to fight back the heat. Very easy and less time consuming. It is one of Sam's favorite dinner menu. I made it once before but that was an experimental phase. Now I am damn sure, that I am a master ( :-p ) of this super-easy recipe. Joking....
Now what is Thukpa? Wiki says, " Thukpa is a Tibetan noodle soup, inspired from China. It originated in the eastern part of Tibet....Later it became popular in Bhutan, and in the states of Sikkim, Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh, and some other parts of India." I tasted it first when I was at Bhubaneswar, Orissa. It was a very small shop at Chandrashekharpur that you can hardly find out its existence. But some did, and I found an interesting recipe to experience. Then I surfed Google and picked a recipe and added few more elements to get a better result. And here it is...
Ingredients:-
Now the method. I used rice noodles, but it is not necessary. Last time I did it with simple egg-noodles, and it went well. You need to boil it first with some salt and drain the whole water after that. Put some oil in the noodles, it (oil) will prevent it to become lump.
Make egg-poach in boiling water, take it out, and cut into small pieces.
Now heat oil in a large, broad mouthed pan, add chicken and fry it till light brown.
Add onion, carrot, capsicum and cabbage to chicken, saute for 2-3 minutes.
Next add ginger, garlic, spring onion and green chili.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, coriander leaves. Keep tossing for another 2-3 minutes.
Add water and simmer for 3 minutes, squeeze lemon. Put soya sauce and honey. Add salt if needed.
Cover and cook for 10 minutes in a medium heat. If the chicken and vegetables are totally boiled, add the noodles and egg, cook for 2 minutes in low heat. And its done.
It is a total dinner, you don't need any side dish. Just enjoy. And don't forget to tell me if you find it interesting.
Have a good day....
