Author Notes
We are now going to expand our recipes to include more Asian dishes starting with the beautifully simple and healthy meals of Japan. Our first dish is Ebi Yakasobe or Shrimp Stir Fry with Noodles. Inspired by a website called ClosetCooking, we have provided three different alternatives for the wheat noodles or ramen used in this dish. We will attempt to find and use as many authentic Japanese ingredients as we can find. We hope that our readers will realize the inherently healthy aspects of Japanese cooking using raw or minimally-cooked ingredients and enjoy cooking some of these dishes themselves. The recipe can be found on our blog @ http://tomandanitamorgan.blogspot.com/2014/04/japanese-style-shrimp-stir-fry-or-ebi.html —Tom and Anita Morgan
