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!😋

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...

Counting With Objects

It is crucial to let children count with real objects. I learnt this lesson a few years ago. My son could recognise numbers 1 to 10 at around 2 years old. I naively thought he understood what they meant. When he was 4 and struggled with addition, it finally dawn on me... What have I taught him about numbers? Nothing! So I came up with a series of counting activities for him. I could still remember we had at least one week of continuous counting lessons! WEEK 14: MATHEMATICS TOPIC: COUNTING WITH OBJECTS ACTIVITY 1 Counting the same objects Materials: Use similar objects from groups of 1 to 10. If your child/student is a beginner, you can start with 1 to 3 or 1 to 5, depending on the child. You can use straws, ice-cream sticks, lego bricks, etc. As long as you have enough quantity to carry out the activity. If you have ready number pieces, use them. Otherwise use small pieces of papers and write down a number on each paper. On the floor or the table...

Bedtime Routine with Big Lego and Small Lego

Lego again??! Yes. Lego is a big part of our everyday lives and there is a reason for that. FAMILIARITY. Because Lego has been part of our lives since my first child was one year old and it was being played almost everyday. And it is still being played everyday. Familiarity makes learning easier. It also makes teaching easier. Well, in this case, it is not so much about teaching but about a little variation in our bedtime routine. Big Lego and Small Lego: Based on my son's imagination We have been reading bedtime stories to the children since my first child was about 8 months old. And a few years down the road, I thought it was time for some changes. Instead of reading them stories, I started telling them stories and the main characters were Big Lego and Small Lego. They knew that I was referring to both of them, and they were always very attentive, eager to know how I would describe them in the stories. If they would be the kind, the mischief or the brave one....
