Quick and Easy Dry Noodles

My son loves to eat noodles because he loves slurping it up!

I don't mind cooking noodles often because it is versatile and very easy to prepare. I can use it in soup, toss it in a soy sauce mixture or stir fry it with vegetables and meat.

Preparing noodles for breakfast can be really quick and easy. Just pre cut some vegetable salad the night before or fry an egg before you make the soy sauce mixture (in the same pan or wok). If you have left over soup, just heat it up and pop the dry noodles in and there you go - a bowl of hot nutritious noodles soup to start the day.

Today, I'll share with you the dry version of our favourite organic ramen noodles.

Ingredients: Dry ramen noodles or any other dry noodles of your choice, shallots, garlic, scallions, fresh red chillies, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, cooking oil.

1. Boil water in a pot.

2. When the water is boiling, put the dry noodles in and boil according to the instructions on the package.

3. Meanwhile, chop some shallots and garlic.

4. In a pan or a wok, heat some cooking oil. Fry the shallots and garlic until golden brown. Turn off the heat.

5. Add in soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sesame oil according to your taste.

6. Once cooked, remove noodles from the pot with a strainer, pour them into the soy sauce mixture and toss until evenly coated.

7. Lastly, garnish it with finely or coarsely chopped scallions and fresh chillies.

8. You can eat it with a variety of dishes such as eggs, meat, vegetables or soup.

Hope you'll try it and do let me know if you like it too!😋

What a Treat! What a Cheat!

When it comes to food , how often do you cheat ? Do you plan to follow a certain diet but end up having more cheat days than you intend to? or Do you intend to eat home cooked food for the entire week but end up eating out almost everyday? You are not alone!!👊 We are partners in crime! Look at the picture below. It's a plate of lunch for my children. Prawn paste fried chicken, stir fry mustard leaves and white rice. Served on a plate from our kitchen. The only thing I cook is the rice. 😜 I bought the chicken and vegetables from an economy rice shop. They are my children's top picks. It is a shop that sells a wide variety of dishes (about 50-60), mostly Chinese. The food are pre cooked and displayed on large serving trays. It is self service and faster than the fast food restaurant. When my children saw the food served to them, they had a debate on whether it was takeaway or home cooked . 😃 My 8 year old boy said: Mummy bought from Bar Wang Fan (the na...

Stress Free Mode

Now, as I typed on my laptop, my 5 year-old daughter sits in front of me, doing her own work. She is doing something on her own. Something that no one tells her to do. It is 100% at her own will. She is copying from a storybook. It is a Malay storybook she borrowed from school. And she is trying to read as she copies. She is smiling as she tries to read the words and although she still struggles with many of the words, she is smiling while she tries. Once in a while, she would ask me how to pronounce a certain syllable. And now, she is singing out the words she copies. _________________________________________________ This scene, right in front of me, is the result of an important lesson I learnt a year ago. I learnt that, for effective learning to take place, the learner should be in a "stress free mode". And for them to be in that mode, it most probably has to be something they find interesting or rather, something they w...
