I like asian food, especially noodles and whenever I stumble upon a recipe that catches my eye, I try to reproduce it. So here is today’s shot at “Basic Udon Soup” that I discovered on this guy’s very well made Youtube channel that I’ve been following for years now. This is not an overly savoury or particularly filling soup, rather some light meal. Watch the video or read on here how to make it:
Lockdown Lunch:
Improvised glass noodle stir fry with mushrooms, vegetables and chow mein seasoning sauce (actually, you can throw in whatever ingredients you like). Cobbled together in minutes and actually very tasty. Here’s how:
Scallion Oil Noodles
This simple, yet flavourful recipe for chinese Scallion Oil Noodles is taken from here and as usual, I adapted it a little bit. I highly recommend to try it out! It’s easy and veeery delicious.
Butter Garlic Noodles with Oyster Sauce
I got a package of these shrimp flavoured egg noodles and I found them very yummy and flavourful. Here’s an easy and filling Recipe:
Personal Udon
I was forbidden to eat for two days due to a medical examination that I had to take. Thereafter, I was not so much starving (I weigh 100 kg – I’m sure I won’t starve that soon), but I was craving. I had an enormous appetite for noodles, so I grabbed all the remainders I had in the fridge and made my “personal Udon”. Easy, yummy and (any possible asian readers please forgive me) not in any way traditional:
Chinese-style Bacon: Part 3
I took the bacon out of the drying box today and did a little taste-test. It tastes absolutely great, though absolutely nothing like the bacon the classically skilled western european ist used to. It is very dry on the outside, yet juicy and soft enough on the inside to be yummy.
Asian Stir-Fry Sauce
Turns out, the marinade for the chinese bacon experiment is a legit hammer-stir-fry-sauce: I didn’t want to pour it away because it smelled so aromatic, decent and savoury. So I boiled it up to kill off any probably existing bacteria from marinating.
Then I stored it in the fridge and used it as a sauce for my evening dinner stir fry (just as you would use teriyaki sauce or similar). Recommendation!
Chinese-style Bacon: Part 2
I am that pissed. Yesterday my wife started her ride into her holidays to the northern germany refuge, visiting her sister and going to relax a little… and I am stuck here having to work and stand to attention, right in the middle of summer… 🙁 Whatever. Here’s the chinese bacon progress so far:
