Instructions:
- Prepare Broth: In a large pot, bring your chosen broth to a simmer. If using fresh ginger, turmeric, or garlic for an anti-inflammatory boost, add them now and let simmer for at least 15-20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Cook Protein: While the broth is simmering, cook your chosen protein according to its preparation. Shred chicken, press and cube tofu, etc.
-
Cook Noodles: Cook your chosen noodles according to package instructions. If using sweet potato or zucchini noodles, you may not need to cook them separately; they can be added directly to the hot broth to soften for a few minutes.
-
Assemble Bowl:
-
Place your cooked noodles in the bottom of a large serving bowl.
-
Add your cooked protein on top of the noodles.
-
Arrange the leafy greens around the protein.
-
Carefully ladle the hot broth over the noodles, protein, and greens. The heat of the broth will slightly wilt the greens.
-
Customize with Toppings: Add any desired toppings to give you the boost of benefits and flavor you are looking for.
-
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your personalized recovery noodle bowl!
