3
ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1
tablespoon reduced-sodium soy
sauce
¼
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper
1
cup peeled and cubed kabocha or
butternut squash
6
ounces chicken breast cut into 2-inch
strips, optional
8
ounces udon noodles (or soba)
3
green onions, thinly sliced
1
cup bean sprouts (about 3 ounces)
1
tablespoon sesame oil
Fresh lime wedges
1. Put the oil in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart
Rice and Grain Multicooker. Select the Sauté
function and press Start/Stop. Once oil is hot
and shimmering, about 2 minutes, add the
garlic and ginger. Sauté until softened and
fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Press Start/
Stop.
2. Add the broth, bok choy, mushrooms, soy
sauce, pepper and crushed red pepper. Select
the One Pot function for 1 hour and 30
minutes and press Start/Stop.
3. When there are 20 minutes remaining on the
timer, add the squash to the soup and insert
the steaming tray with the chicken pieces into
the steamer position. Close the lid and allow
the chicken to cook above the soup for the
remainder of the time.
4. Once the audible tone has sounded to indicate
the end of cooking, open the lid, and add the
steamed chicken to the soup with the noodles.
Close the lid and allow to "cook"in the Keep
Warm setting for 10 minutes (noodles should
be softened, but not mushy).
5. Open the lid of the cooker again and stir in the
green onions, bean sprouts, sesame oil, and a
squeeze of lime. Taste and adjust seasoning as
desired and serve.
