Udon soup is a Japanese dish consisting of dashi broth (made with bonito flakes and kombu), soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Udon noodles are thick and contain wheat flour and salt. Like many Asian noodle soups, they’re served cold in the warmer months and hot in the winter months. What’s served with the soup depends upon what vegetables or meats are plentiful during that season. Try chilled noodle soup in the summer if you haven’t yet.
Chicken Satay Sandwich

The idea to serve chicken satay in a hotdog bun came from my friend Erik. While Erik was grilling the satay, I happened to glance over as he placed a hotdog bun on the grill and I blurted out, “You better put another bun on for me!” That’s how the chicken satay sandwich came about. I didn’t get a chance to garnish my sandwich because we were experimenting. Next time, I would add diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a squirt of Sriracha sauce. If satay is a dish you really like, then you’re not going to want to pass on trying this dish.

My favorite summertime soup for the past couple of years has been a Korean cold noodle soup called “janchi guksu.” It’s made with thin, white wheat noodles and a light broth consisting of dried anchovies and kelp (or “dasima” in Korean and “kombu” in Japanese). The Korean word “janchi” translates to banquet or feast (special events or gatherings such as weddings, birthday parties) and “guksu” means noodles. The noodles are typically served with julienne vegetables, thinly sliced omelet, and/or beef along with a spicy sauce made with garlic, scallions, Korean red pepper powder, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Ceviche is easier to make than you’d think. The two main ingredients are fresh fish (sushi grade) and lime juice. Don’t let raw fish scare you from trying this recipe. The acid in the lime juice cooks the fish without using heat (i.e, heat from stovetop, oven or grill). Tuna along with fresh vegetables, Thai chili peppers, and lime juice gives this dish a light, citrus zing. Serve as an appetizer or side dish.
