Comfort food

Hi!

My comfort food is Asian food. One dish that I make is a noodle stirfry and I chuck in anything that is still fresh enough!
On this occasion, I used cabbage and zucchini, but you can use anything veges and meat you want. I have made it with chicken before and have had fantastic ideas about using Chinese sausage next time too!

I must say that I have finally found the closest alternative to the noodles I remember from Singapore in the supermarket! Pandaroo Thin egg noodles are by far the most authentic I have found and are easy to prepare and add to your dish.

Anyway, my comfort food used to be something that I could only buy, but now I am working on creating it for myself! So im stoked! My comfort food stems from a childhood growing up with Asian food, so I love recreating and rediscovering those flavors. Where does your comfort food stem from? Does it have any significance?

-Asian noodle stirfry-
Speed and preparation is your friend when making. I know, blah, sounds like effort, but it's not as hard as it seems.
1.Slice up veges and meat as rough as you want.
2. Chuck one noodle bundle in a pot of booking water as per the directions on the pack. Separate as they cool with a fork or something.
3. Throw some sesame oil into the wok along with your meat. Cook the meat until just cooked. Remove into a bowl.
4. Throw your veges in and swish around. Throw in some oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and as much/little fresh chilli or sauce as you want and mix with the veges.
5. Drain your noodles as they have been boiling along nicely now while you have been wizzing through your stirfry.
6. Add the meat again along with the cooked and drained noodles. Mix and serve!
