I set out to make a nice, simple egg custard. Bleary from lack of sleep, I accidentally read “6 tbl” as “2 cups” of sugar (the recipe called for two cups of milk).
No custard for me until we get more eggs. Sigh. I guess I should stick to soup and jello; harder to mess up.
Being hideously ill with some kind of throat infection which is probably bacterial but not strep, I am living on soup and jello. I pretty much hate jello unless I’m really sick. So I thought I’d throw together something easy but better than ramen.
I had duck broth and some shredded roast duck left over in the freezer from Christmas, so I put them in a saucepan with lots of sliced ginger and garlic, a touch of soy sauce, some lemongrass, sushi vinegar (my plain rice vinegar has mysteriously disappeared), salt, sesame oil, fish sauce, and somen noodles, cooked it up, and garnished with lime juice. While not earth-shatteringly good, it’s pretty good for a sore throat given my present energy level (nonexistent).
And now the freezer is a little emptier, although I really should clean it out.
