How can anyone possibly resist instant noodles? Cup noodles? Maggie mee? Whatever you call it. They need not be unhealthy to start with, because you use it as the main of the dish, but you can discard the rest of the sauces and MSG that come in the packet, then add in the flavours by yourself. Which is exactly what I did here.
It’s not a very fanciful name for a dish like this, but I believe it’s enough to make one curious enough to want to try it – ants climbing a tree (蚂蚁上树).
I love carbonara. The boys love it too. It’s not too difficult to prepare and the best thing is everyone finishes every single bits on their plates after the meal, well, at least most of the time.
This dish looks simple and unappetising at first sight. Just a bowl of soup with a lot of greens in it. It’s akin to the small bowl of soup that hawkers place alongside your bowl of bak chor mee and chicken rice. But precisely because they are just accompaniments, they should not be overwhelming – with simple flavours, easy for the palette and easy to digest.
It was such a busy week. I think my family and I deserve a nice cup of something sweet, and this mango treat works best because it is hassle-free, sweet, and a perfect way to end off the weekend.
