A Hankering for Noodles

ingredients for fried noodles
I am a lazy cook. No other way to say it. I have no patience for slowly stirred sauces, carefully watched pots, or preparations that need fifteen different components plated at the last minute. If it all sits together in a bowl and I can eat it with one utensil, then so much the better.

I am also a stubborn cook. Stir fries have often tantalised me, and every time I try my hand at one I learn a little more, make it a little better. I'm at the stage now where I can't quite bang out a hundred plates of noodles that all look and taste the same, but the outcome is generally tasty, and even when my own pantry conspires to throw me a curveball, I can generally deal with it.

Three Plates

I've been trying to get back into cooking again. Like a lot of things cooking is as much about practice as it is about something as indefinable as 'talent'. So this, then, is three lunches I've made over the past week or two. None of them tasted as good as I would like, but hey, you know what they say about practice...
