un-bento #38 - Noodle or don’t noodle
I had a great breakfast today, never mind lunch yet!
On the weekend I used some leftover stewed chicken, carrots, onions, and frozen peas along with a pack of instant noodles to make a really tasty noodle bowl. But I only got a couple bites out of it before I had to leave it. Since then it has been my breakfast twice now, and will be again tomorrow.
I scramble 2 eggs in a bowl and add soy sauce them. Take a portion of that noodle dish and heat it up in a fry pan until it smells good! If I had fresh green onions I’d add them at this point. Then pour the eggs over the noodle mix - there should be enough eggs to make sort of like a pancake in the pan. If not, next time use more eggs or a smaller pan. Then just let it cook until almost firm. Loosen the edges, and flip it in the pan to brown the top. If its good and firm, you can plate it, slice it, and add hoisin sauce (or other sweet sauce) and hot sauce to taste. Otherwise, it will be a bowl of stuff. Either way its very yummy!
This dish is very much like the one I cooked a while back using leftover fried rice - click here to view bento #28.
