Hiya all. If anything I’ve posted on WP so far lives up to the promise of being healthy, filling , easy and quick - it’s this snack I’m eating right now (I’m always eating what I post about as I post, you know!).
The basic idea here is to use precooked materials such as bought udon (”you don”) noodles (the big fat white ones, everyone’s favourite!) or pasta from the fridge, whatever veggies you have which can go in a salad, some form of ready to eat protein rich food such as beans, peas or mock meat, and simply throw them in a bowl with boiled water and seasoning.
Today I’m using
- capsicum
- udon noodles
- bean sprouts
- mock ham
- mixed salad\
- soy sauce and sesame oil (just a drop)
Note - I didn’t end up fitting all these ingredients into the bowl (which in this pic holds the geens), but you can always add them into the water at the end if you’re still hungry. Can you guess which ingredients were sacrificed? Answer at end.
All of the ingredients above are highly exchangeable. Anything ready to eat can be included. Don’t worry, the soy and sesame will make anything taste superb.
Method
It’s really genius quality simplicity. Chop things to a size you can fit in your mouth (for me that means pre cutting the noodles so they’re manageable lengths), boil and add water, add seasoning, eat!
By the way, if you’re not yet sure how much soy sauce to use in what, about a table spoon per person is a good measurement for most meals.
If you have bulk cooked lentils or peas in the fridge, you could add some to the soup for additional nutrition and thickness. In such a case the mock meat wouldn’t be so necessary making this a no-soy dish 
Enjoy, viola, belissiom, etc.
Shopping Tip
Once again a monthly or bi-weekly trip to Chinatown might be in order. Udon noodles sell at about half the price they do in regular supermarkets, and you can buy them in bulk packages rather than individual ones. Certain veggies also sell much cheaper there including bean sprouts. And, if you want mock meat, you have no choice.
