My budget lunch is always noodles soup with whatever ingredients that are on sale. I just love eating noodles soup that is spicy and when I crave for it. Today, I have Brussel sprouts and broccolini on sale. There is no meat as they are expensive.

Google: “Shin Ramyun (Korean: 신라면, styled as 辛라면 with Hanja) is a brand of instant noodle (including cup ramyeon) that has been produced by the South Korean food company Nongshim since October 1, 1986.Shin Ramyun, well known for its spicy flavour, is produced in at least four varieties: the original Shin Ramyun and Shin Ramyun Black, which was introduced in 2011 as well as Super Spicy, which was released in 2019, and, finally, a shrimp flavour that is only available in China. A standard package of Shin Ramyun consists of noodles, a packet of flavouring powder (soup base), and a packet of vegetable flakes. “

Google: “Predecessors to modern Brussels sprouts were probably cultivated in Ancient Rome. Brussels sprouts as they are now known were grown possibly as early as the 13th century in what is now Belgium. The first written reference dates to 1587.During the 16th century, they enjoyed a popularity in the southern Netherlands that eventually spread throughout the cooler parts of Northern Europe, reaching Britain by the 17th century. Brussels sprouts are a cultivar group of the same species as broccoli, cabbage, collard greens, kale, and kohlrabi; they are cruciferous (they belong to the family Brassicaceae; old name Cruciferae). Many cultivars are available; some are purple in colour, such as ‘Ruby Crunch’ or ‘Red Bull’.”

“Brussels sprouts are low in calories but high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Brussels sprouts are especially rich in vitamin K, which is necessary for blood clotting and bone health. They’re also high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps promote iron absorption and is involved in tissue repair and immune function.”

Google: “Broccolini, Aspabroc, baby broccoli or tenderstem broccoli, is a green vegetable like broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks. It is a hybrid of broccoli and gai lan (which is sometimes referred to as “Chinese kale” or “Chinese broccoli”), both cultivar groups of Brassica oleracea. Broccolini is a source of vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K, folate and glucosinolates.”

My quick simple meal is spicy, comforting, healthy and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
