When one is hungry, a quick meal is necessary. This quick noodle soup is easy to prepare and easier to cook. All it takes is 10 minutes of your time. This recipe is a god-send. Well. me send as I created this! Oh I believe many busy mums would have invented it as well. We mums do the best things.
So how does one get to make this noodle meal so quickly?
By being organised. Cut and pack the meat or vegan meat and prawns or squid and freeze it. Separate them into individual portions. Have the necessities on hand, like garlic crisps and oil, sesame oil, soy sauce and other garnishes. I normally like to to buy noodles that comes in individual bundles. I can use this and need not separate it from the main bundle, thus avoiding mess, and wasting unnecessary time.
You can use rice vermicelli, or beehoon; or, egg noodle nests that comes in approximately 50g; or any type of noodles.
Beansprouts cannot last very long in the fridge, so I do not normally have it. I do normally have green vegetables like lettuce, Chinese leaves and cabbage. You can even use beans like French beans or mangetout or sweet peas (sugar snaps). Cut kale leaves and spinach is fine, too.
Now you have all the ingredients, let’s cook it.
