HAWAIIAN SAIMIN SOUP

Steps:

SAIMIN

Steps:

• Bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, add soba noodles, stirring occasionally, until firm yet tender to the bite, 3 minutes. Drain and rinse until warm water. Set aside.
• Bring stock and ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in luncheon meat, green onions, and soy sauce; cook, stirring once, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a pot with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Add eggs; cover and let boil for 6 minutes. Remove eggs immediately to an ice bath to cool. Halve lengthwise.
• Divide soba noodles among 4 bowls; spoon broth and toppings over noodles. Top with soft-cooked eggs and serve immediately.

FRIED SAIMIN

Steps:

• First step is to prepare all the topping ingredients. Slice the Spam and kamaboko (aim for the size of a fat matchstick). Peel and julienne the carrot. Beat the egg, scramble the egg, and then sliced thinly. Chop the green onion. Set all this on the side.
• Next, prepare the noodles. Bring water to a boil in a small pot. Drop in the frozen noodle and cook for 30 seconds. Remove and drain immediately. Rinse with cool water (this stops the noodles from further cooking and also removes excess starch).
• Now we start cooking! Put a little oil in a saucepan, and pan fry the Spam over medium heat. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes (until it starts to brown a bit). Then add the kamaboko and carrots. Pan fry another 2 minutes and then pour everything out into a bowl.
• Add a bit more oil to the empty saucepan, and then add in the saimin noodles. Stir fry for 2 minutes (longer for more crisp noodles, less for softer noodles). Add in half the seasoning packet and mix well so that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
• Add the Spam/kamaboko/carrots back in the pack. Stir fry everything together and add in the remaining half of the seasoning packet and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Sitr fry another minute. Add in the sliced egg and green onions. Toss quickly, and pour onto a plate. Eat and enjoy! ^_^

SAIMIN (HAWAIIAN NOODLES)
