Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is now streaming on Disney+. With the arrival of this new Star Wars story comes new characters, ships, droids, and also food! Some of the food seen in the show is recognizable (was there some sort of blue milk in the first episode), and others are brand new! In the second episode of Skeleton Crew, the young crew visits Starport Borgo. This is a lawless spaceport that is built into a big asteroid. It is probably a crew that isn’t a great place for kids when flying in there are a ton of turbolaser cannons.
Obviously, at Port Bargo, people need to eat. At the port’s noodle bar, there are two types of noodles that are served. These Port Borgo Noodles are chewy and served in a bowl of fragrant broth. It’s also an adventure to eat these dishes with the cracking of the toppings onto the dish for the full culinary experience. Below is a recipe that StarWars.com shared so fans can bring this dish to life at home! Give it a shot and then share how it turned out!
Port Borgo Noodles
For the egg noodles
- 2 ounces egg noodles
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
For the rice noodles
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup sliced red cabbage
- 1 ounce rice noodles
- 1 lime wedge
For the toppings
- ½ cup cooked lobster, diced
- ¼ cup enoki mushrooms, cleaned

- 1 green onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon fried onions
- 1 teaspoon chili oil
- ¼ teaspoon black sesame seeds
Broth
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dashi powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 tablespoon miso
Step 1: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Toss with sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large saucepan over high heat, add the water and cabbage. Bring a boil. Turn off the heat and scoop out and discard the cabbage. Add the rice noodles and soak for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse. Place the blue noodles into a small bowl. Squeeze over the lime, toss to change the color. Set aside.
Step 3: Place the lobster shell on its back, open side up. Layer the lobster, enoki mushrooms, spinach, green onions, and fried onions. Add the dyed rice noodles. Top with chili oil.
Step 4: In a large saucepan over medium, add the chicken broth, dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat. In a small bowl add the miso. Stir 2 to 3 spoonfuls of broth, stirring until the miso has dissolved. Add it back into the simmered broth.
Step 5: Over the egg noodles in the serving bowl, crack the crustacean revealing its contents. Pour over the broth. Sprinkle black sesame seeds then serve.
As is said in the series, this dish is totally “wizard!”
