Stir fry noodles: Noodle, noddle on the wok who's the fairest of them all?


Stir-fry Noodle

I have been absent for a while in the blogosphere world. I must admit that I tremendously miss all my favorite "food blog" I often hangout but Christmas and New Year holidays at our household are important occassions for our family to relax and do our "bonding". And that means no email and no blogging for the last 2 weeks. But nonetheless, Im back in the business.

I'm pretty sure that most people often spend the last day of the year writing or pondering about their "resolutions list". However, I grew up in the family that this day is reserved for undertaking all undone or half-done things. Believe it or not on the 31st day of December I spend the entire day cleaning the house and arranging my kitchen. And I was amazed to discover all the ingredients that have been sleeping for so long in my kitchen cabinet. Tons of spices, dried tomatoes, dried beans, different types of rice, canned goods, jams, some nori wrappers and lots and lots of noodles; all waiting for their turn to be used one day. And you guess it right, that night I cooked some stir fried noodles.

Some are thick, some are thin, some are soft, some are hard
Cook them anyway you want...




Stir-fry Noodles
Ingredients:
1 package of noodle (any type)
2 tbsps of olive oil
2 tbsps of Sesame Oil
1 tbsp of Oyster Sauce
2 tbsps of Soy Sauce
1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of lime juice
half a cup of shrimps
one cup of diced vegetables (broccolli, carrots, haricot verts, etc)
1 onion chopped

In a wok start by stif frying the vegetables and onion in olive oil. After few minutes add the shrimps and continue stirring. Throw in sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar. Mix well. Add the pre-cooked noodle and continue stirring. Before serving put the lime juice.


No one escapes the power of my chopsticks!

How do you stir-fry the somen noodles without them getting starch all over everything?

Chibog in Chief said...

bigboys oven, would love to live close to your neighborhood..i would definitely mind thos macaroon smell :-)

jendz, thanks, love to be part of foodie blog roll

jmom, ok let me see what rice recipe i can concoct for LP22

ronell, hi there, yeah i did cook this to lessen to much calories cumulated by the holiday season's eating hehehehe

woknspoon, happy new year too!!

little corner of mine, i love noodles too!! dry and sauted or in soup!!

tanya, i prepare my noodles as i prepare a pasta noodle..meaning i cook them separately in a boiling water a bit "aldente" then i was it with running water to get rid off extra flour on it.;then i sauté them with the rest of the ingredients..i normally add the noodles last..the key dont overcook them or they'll be soggy :-)

Rosie said...

Susan said...

I love the precise, minimalist look of Asian bundled noodles, so peaceful. Dhanggit, you have inspired me to dig deep into my own cupboards. I know I have the makings of a stir fry in them...somewhere. : )

BTW, the miniature tiramisu at our Xmas Eve table was a huge hit. Thx!

Ruy said...

Dhanggit!!! Wow, those noodles look great! I want some!
I had quite a similar holiday situation as you.

Chibog in Chief said...

Anita said...

Lime juice...why have I never added that to my noodles? Thanks for the tip - your noodles look really great. Now I must get shrimp sauce too? or can I just thin out the shrimp paste and use?

Cakespy said...
