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.
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?

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 :-)
Great to see you back and brilliant noodles dhanggit!!
Looking forward to viewing all your scrummy food this year you'll be creating :D

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!
Dhanggit!!! Wow, those noodles look great! I want some!
I had quite a similar holiday situation as you.
rosie, thanks!!i'm glad to be back too :-)
susan, you got it right, i wanted to create a "zen" look with my noodles...im glad to hear it was a success for your tiramisu :-)
ruy, ha ha ha i thought i was the only one..glad to hear "i was not alone" srubbing and cleaning ..hehehe
Hi,
how long have you been here in france? I was here since january of last year lang
Happy New Year wishes to you..
Amazing photos as always ..!!!
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?
What gorgeous noodles you've got there! So warm and appetizing. May you have a sweet and delicious 2008!!!!
How can you go wrong with noodles?

I cleaned on Dec. 31st, too.
Happy New Year Dhanggit!
