Predicting a Super Bowl Prediction

I’ve received so many emails asking whether or not I’m doing my Super Bowl prediction this year, using Buffalo chicken wing bones. As you may know, we shocked the world last year with our absolutely spot-on prognostication that the Packers would win, cover the spread, and that the score would exceed the over/under line.

Well, great news! As soon as the teams are set, I’ll will toss the bones, and the rest will be up to you. And by “rest” I mean withdrawing your kid’s college funds and betting it all on the game. Stay tuned!

*For those of you that doubt the prodigious prognosticating power of these puny bones, I welcome you to feast your eyes on last year’s prophecy. Scoreboard!

Beef and Soba Noodle Stir Fry Bowl

Currently my favorite take-out, made-in meal. This stir fry of vegetables, beef (or chicken) and soba noodles is the perfect healthy, satisfying and insanely tasty meal that takes no time at all to prepare. The trick is to prepare all of the ingredients before beginning to cook because once you start stir frying it only takes a minute or two from start to finish. Also great about making your favorite take-out meals at home is that you control the ingredients, so you know exactly what is in it and you can make it specifically to your liking. In my case that means extra spicy!

Beef and Soba Noodle Stir Fry Bowl

soba noodles
cooked steak or chicken (sliced)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 carrot, shaved into long ribbons
1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
1 green onion, sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon hot Asian chili sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
dash toasted sesame oil
chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Cook, drain and rinse soba noodles according to the directions on the package. In a large skillet or wok heat several tablespoons of canola oil and add garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant, but do not burn. Add vegetables and stir fry until softened. Add beef or chicken and noodles and cook until heated through. Add soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce and sesame oil. Turn heat to low and warm through for approximately 5 minutes. Serve with chopped fresh cilantro, green onion and peanuts.
