I make my noodles. I find it therapeutic to create them, and in many cases, they’re much more flavorful than many of the noodles purchased in the larger grocery stores.
One of the most challenging types of noodles I’ve made have been ramen noodles; however, this evening, I wanted something quick, and so I grabbed some of the plain ramen noodles that I’d purchased from our local Korean grocery store.
Earlier that evening, I’d purchased spinach and portobello mushrooms from our local store. I had yellow onions, garlic, and bell peppers on hand, so I decided to add those to the dish. It didn’t take long to prepare the meal, and my daughter loved it! Since my daughter loves ramen noodles and eats them a few times each week, I meal-prepped a large batch of ramen noodles. I kept the noodles separate from the stir-fry vegetables. Next week if she wants a quick meal, she can use some of the noodles that I prepared and add whatever else she wants to create her meal.
I work 100% remotely; however, I don’t always have time to prepare food during my office hours. That’s why I love to meal prep. It gives us healthy and delicious options.
Refrigerator Organization
Several weeks ago, my daughter and I organized our refrigerator. My daughter selected clear/stackable bins designed for the refrigerator/freezer, and I purchased them from Amazon. Although we did a great job keeping our refrigerator neat, those bins make our refrigerator even more awesome. Because of that, I decided that the small freezer above the fridge would benefit from a similar makeover.
Thanks to Amazon, I should be receiving those stackable bins between 7:00 – 11:00 AM tomorrow.
That looks really good!!! Looks like our Foochow fried noodles. Not surprised that your girl loves it.
Yes, we do use those Italian pastas too to cook in our Asian styles and they are great as well.
It was delicious. This evening, I used the remaining noodles to create a dish inspired by Youtuber Yeung Man Cooking. I catch a few of his videos now and again. They never disappoint.
What did you make your sauce out of? And those bins you found sound amazing! I need to be better about organizing my frig. YIKES! It’s scary at the moment! LOL 🙂
The sauce was cornstarch added to coconut milk. I added a bit of mushroom puree, citrus, lemon, and water. I stirred and added to the skillet to thicken. Very tasty!
