Leftover lunch soup
2011
One day this week, my friend at work asked if she could take me out to lunch – which was nice because it wasn’t my birthday or anything, and since I sit at my desk during lunch 99% of the time, it’s a great way to get out of the office.
There are literally 20+ places within walking distance to eat by my office so when we were talking about where to go and she suggested Penny’s Noodles, I of course jumped at the chance. I know there is a location in Chicago, but there is also a location in Oak Park. They have pot stickers, fried rices, noodle bowls, etc…
I usually get fried rice but decided on trying something else. I got this:
Egg Noodles with Barbecued Pork
Sliced BBQ pork served over egg noodles then garnished with bean sprouts, green onions, cilantro, and ground peanuts.
It was so good! And I was proud of myself that I only ate half! So with the other half I decided to make a soup out of it. I brought 3 frozen pot stickers from my house and some frozen carrots and peas. I have chicken base powder at my office so I could make chicken broth and in less than 5 minutes I had this delicious soup!
And the best part was I could only eat half of this bowl, so now I’ll have a 3rd meal out of one restaurant meal! 
I am happy it’s Friday! What’s everyone’s plans for the weekend?
