Fried Yellow Noodles 炒面

I wished I have the creativity of Japanese mommy in the way they cook. Quite some time back, a friend sent me an email with photographs of bento. My God! They looked delicious! Since I got a fussy eater at home, I tell myself I must try to make something like those. At least half as good lah. I started with Bear Rice with Furikake and Steam Vegetables and Chrysanthemum Squid. This is my 3rd attempt in making my kid's meal interesting.

Ingredients:

• Yellow flat noodle
• Cai xin, chopped finely
• Prawns, shelled and deveined
• Fish cake, sliced
• Carrots, sliced
• Chicken broth (I always use home-made ones)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon oil
• Salt to taste

How to do it:

1. Heat wok with oil.
2. Sauté garlic till fragrant.
3. Add in prawns and cook till 70% cooked
4. Add in fish cake, carrots and cai xin.
5. Cook till prawns and fish cake are done.
6. Dish and set aside.
7. In the same wok, add in the noodle and broth.
8. Simmer till the noodle is cooked and there isn’t much fluid left.
9. Now add in the previously cooked ingredients and mix well.
10. Add in salt to taste. (I don’t find it necessary as the noodle is slightly salty)
11. Dish and serve.

Note:Add more broth to the noodle if you find it too dry. You can substitute the ingredients used with your preferred ones.
