From the Test Kitchen
Tonight, we’re putting a zesty spin on a comfort food classic. We’re making a chicken noodle soup with some of our favorite Asian touches: fresh Japanese udon noodles, sweet and salty Chinese hoisin sauce, ginger and cilantro. But chefs, the secret to our soup’s complex, incredible taste is dried lime. An essential flavoring ingredient in Middle Eastern cooking, this culinary gem has been sun-dried for weeks, resulting in a tangy, aromatic depth (and turning its green rind brown). Once it’s been used to season the soup, the dried lime can be discarded—its delicious work is done!
