Green Beans in Writing

i’m getting lazy these days about writing about my cooking. i need a one button function that will edit my pictures, upload it and write about my pictures for me! this is for a certain friend back home who recently asked me what i have been making lately.

recently i whipped up some udon noodles based on a memory of my mom’s udon noodles. i don’t think my noodles are similar to hers at all but they are quite tasty! the secret, i think are onions. when you cook the onions long enough so that it becomes soft, it becomes very sweet to the taste, and adds a nice nuanced dimension to the noodles. meat is optional, i threw in the chicken because i needed to use it up anyway. i seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper (something i discovered recently!) . i then threw in sliced napa cabbage (won bok) and carrots — stirfried it all until it’s tender - but not wilted! finally, i added in the udon noodles. the udon noodles came in a pack - it came pre-cooked, so all i needed to do was throw it in the wok and just warm it up. you can break up the noodles in the pan too. if your noodles are sticking to the pan or needs a little help warming up– a little chicken broth won’t hurt.

i also seasoned the udon dish with oyster sauce. you can also try adding hoisin sauce too. and that’s it!
