Bok Choy & Turnip Miso-Ramen with Soy Sauce Eggs

Bok Choy & Turnip Miso-Ramen with Soy Sauce Eggs

This recipe is dedicated to all of our amazing CSA members who received quite a bit of bok choy, turnips and radishes in their first farm share of the season. They'll be getting more of these tasty ingredients in the weeks to come and I love creating simple, fresh recipes that they can whip up with the ingredients they receive from Tumbleweed Farm. And heck, you don't have to be a CSA member to re-create this ramen. Grab all the ingredients at your neighborhood farmers market (or grocery store) and get cooking! The soy sauce eggs are a game changer in our house. We've been hard boiling a lot of eggs to keep on hand when we're too busy to sit down for a proper lunch and need instant fuel. The eggs are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar and a pinch of sugar. They are next level and I hope you all love them as much as we do. They're great added to soups, salads, toast or eaten straight up! Just a quick note about the recipe--the prep-time doesn't include the marinating time for the eggs. The eggs need at least 2 hours to soak up all the flavors from the marinade so plan accordingly! Also, when you're done marinating the eggs keep the leftover marinade and use it for other dishes--it's really tasty and lasts a while in the fridge! Cheers from Tumbleweed Farm
