It's 6pm New Year's Day, I was out until 3.15am, OH will be cooking dinner at 7pm on his return from visiting his elderly mother, and my 14 year old son announces he's going out to a friend's in an hour and needs feeding.
We have a portion of cooked egg noodles in the fridge, and there's a 'express ramen' recipe on Instagram I've been meaning to try.
Serves 1
1 serving of cooked noodles
Half a pak choi, thinly sliced (optional)
1 egg
1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sriracha or sweet chilli sauce
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Vegetable oil, for greasing
Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the packet, together with the pak choi if using.
Whilst the noodles are cooking, beat the egg and pour into a lightly greased creme brûlée dish or microwaveable noodle bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Leave until cool enough to handle then tip onto a chopping board and dice.
Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, soy sauce and chilli sauce in the bowl you are going to eat the noodles out of. Add the chopped egg and spring onion.
Drain the noodles, reserving a couple of tablespoons of the cooking water. Toss the noodles with the rest of the ingredients in the bowl, adding a tablespoon or two of the reserved cooking water to make the sauce a little looser.
