When I cook, I tend to favour the technique of finding a nice, simple recipe with lots of pictures, then changing all of the ingredients and procedures. Making ‘Yaki Soba’ this week, that is exactly what I did. Here is my own recipe with pictures, so that you can make this super-yummytastic dish yourself, or else change everything and make something vaguely similar.
Ingredients:
– 1 Pack Udon Noodles (Thick ones)
– Handful of prawns
– 2tsp Chili, finely chopped
– 1tsp Ginger, grated
– 1clove Garlic, finely chopped
– Green&Yellow peppers, sliced
– 1 Carrot, peeled and sliced
– 1/2 Onion, Chopped
– Handful of spinach
– 1 Egg
– Soy sauce, dark and light
– Sesame Oil
(Or subract pretty much any of those ingredients and/or add your own)
(The other thing in the photo is a ‘flavour shaker’ which works like a pestle and mortar)
Process:
– Mix together 1tbsp Sesame Oil, 1tbsp Light Soy, 1tbsp Dark Soy, Egg, Ginger
– In a wok, fry the Onion in 1tbsp Sesame Oil, then add…
– …the Carrot…
– …then the peppers…
– …and then the prawns…
– …then the garlic and chili…
– …before chucking in the noodles and the spinach.
– Once that’s all looking nice and tasty, in goes the seasoning mixture for a minute or so.
– Serve!
Eat:
– The final dish should look something like this (ish).
– It should be fragrant, refreshing and have a great range of textures and flavours.
Hope you enjoy it!
(Note that this dish in no way represents any kind of authentic Chinese or Japanese cuisine, but it still seems quite tasty.)
