feeling noodly

 I often can get stuck on sauces or marinades that I like and rarely want to stray away from. However when I found this little gem for ginger scallion noodles from one of my favorite restaurants (last mentioned here) in NYC, Momofuku Noodle Bar, I practically sprinted to the store to get all the necessary ingredients. 
The sauce was too easy to make and I'm not sure why I was ever intimidated by fresh ginger. Maybe the odd shape got me? I tossed it with some chinese noodles and even had some left over to have for lunch the following day as a chicken sauce. I can't wait to try the pickled cucumbers too- yum!

[I forgot to take a picture before it was gone... whoops... this picture found here is a great representation]

Side note: If you're ever in NYC and looking for a lunch spot- try the Noodle Bar! Favorites on the menu: pork buns, ginger scallion noodles (duh) and then head to the Milk Bar for dessert!

    oh! Yum! I feel the same way about ginger -- a way to get around it's intimidating-ness? Dry ground ginger! Just as good (when being mixed in). I live in NYC and I can't wait to try the Noodle bar!

    I lived in NY until last year. Had a tear in my eye, not only do I miss NY but the food. Love Momofuku! My other fav noodle place was Menchancho.
