I adapted this recipe to suit ingredients that I had on hand. I had roasted a pork loin rubbed with the spice rub from Chinese-Style Spareribs recipe #105463. I sliced the leftover pork very thinly and cut into strips which I used in this soup. Because the pork was already cooked, I didn't add it to the sesame oil immediately. I also used a package of Top Ramen noodles (without the seasoning packet) instead of the fresh linguine. Unfortunately, I also didn't have any bean sprouts on hand, either. Still, the seasoned "crust" from the meat provided a nice flavor to the soup and made a great dish. This was simple enough for a tired work night, but still full of delicious flavor. Hubby and I were very, very happy with it. Thanks for posting.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
