Asian-style Soup

This is the slow-cooker meal idea that I sent to my sister.

I'll warn you ahead of time, that my recipes aren't "recipes". Let's call them "developed ideas".

If you know how to cook, you'll understand. Don't like rice? Add noodles. Any kind you like. Don't like snow peas? Put some broccoli in there. Vegetarian? Add some TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) or tofu. Use vegetable stock.

Make it yours.

Here goes!

Buy some frozen meatballs (see if they have plain ones. Italian ones will have oregano and basil and thyme in it and won‘t be as good).

If you have the time, make your own. Mix in some ginger, Chinese five-spice powder. Use your imagination.

Or dice up some chicken breast. Or dice up some sirloin. All would work for this recipe.

Before you go to bed, put the meat (whichever you want) in the crockpot.

Add some garlic, onion, ginger, pepper, soy sauce (maybe a 1/3 c), chicken stock (almost to the top) and hot chili sauce (if you want) over meat. Stir. Cover and store in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, set on low heat. When you arrive home – add snow peas, green onions and egg noodles or rice noodles. Set timer for 20 minutes. Serve with buns.

Try it tonight!
