1 oz maggi seasoning or 1 tb soy sauce

1/2 tsp pepper
2 green onions, chopped
Directions
*light if desired (don't use non-fat) **cooked al Dente (be careful
not to overcook)

salt (if using) and pepper. Mix well. Simmer uncovered for 10

Melinda's notes: I got this from an old Polish acquaintance long ago.
I don't know how original Polish it is since it uses Maggi Seasoning,
which I think is German, but we like it. Maggi Seasoning comes in a
square-ish brown bottle and can be purchased in the gourmet section
of your supermarket. I always omit the salt. The original recipe
called for 4 oz. sour cream, but I like it with 8 oz. I usually use
the light sour cream, but the non-fat doesn't do well, it seems to
just dissolve and become tasteless.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes far back into history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later on, we find two recipe books which date from the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are nothing to do with the curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food served to the upper classes of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this Polish Noodles recipe.
