It’s been ages since I last updated my blog (again đ). I have been travelling and moving around, and guess what I miss the most?….cooking!
I finally get settled in to my new home, it’s nice to be back in London again. The only problem I have now is lacking of tools in my kitchen.
The other night I invited my two lovely friends over for a little housewarming, I couldn’t just feed them alcoholic beverages, get them drunk, and serve them already made dinner from supermarket. A bit of my cooking with a touch of love would be more appropriate.
I was planning to serve vegetarian stir-fried noodles as a side dish with grassy British steak. As I started preparing my ingredients, I realised I had bacon I bought for breakfast left, that smoky bacon must be good in my noodles, I though. I just couldn’t keep my food meat-free, could I? It turned out, my friends enjoyed it and wanted a recipe; I was happy with the result.
All the ingredients in this recipe are very easy to find. It is a perfect dish for quick weeknight meal, or you can double, triple the recipe when you throw a party, you just need a bigger wok. After all the drinking, this starchy and savoury dish would make your guest happy. đ
Check out the recipe and video clip below. By the way, the bowl may look fancy, it only cost me ÂŁ5 at local antique market.
