So, I'm cooking--which means that I will continue to keep the stove engaged until I have used up all the side product I have created. If you say, huh? then know that if something I have cooked produces something that would usually be disposed--for instance, the water you boiled your pasta in--I will try to use it, until I reach the point where I have so much prepared food that it's past my capacity to eat it before it goes bad. Then such things get frozen, composted, or used to water my plants.
Well, I had some leftover pasta water, and I did not want to pitch it. Oil, salt, water, starch: that's a nice start for a soup.
Which would be why I threw pad thai-style rice noodles in it. Brain cramp!
So this is just a quick note to myself to list what I threw into the pot to make something I would enjoy. I won't remember this, otherwise.
Rice noodles, tossed in hot water and allowed to soften to al dente. Don't actually cook them, let the water do its work.
Stir-fry kale, collards, frozen peas, and a sliced fresh jalapeno in olive oil.
Add an egg, scrambled, and mix it into the stir fry.
Toss in the al-dente noodles.
Add Worcestershire and soy sauce--I have lots of different soy sauces, so for my future reference, I used the one that calls itself Pearl River Bridge Lite Soy Sauce, Reduced Sodium.
Toss.
Enjoy.
