Maggi Masala curry instant noodles with leftovers

Confession time. I love instant noodles. Or as they call it in my neck of the woods - ramen noodles. It's my ultimate comfort food and I've come up with lots of creative ways of making it rather than just straight out of the pack. I've got a recipe using leftover curry sauce with instant noodles that's awesome.

Cowboy butter prawns with konjac noodles

You guys!!! I'm still on my cowboy butter kick and I've got a batch in the fridge. It's a compound butter and it keeps. I've using it for this and that, and the other day I had some leftover eggs that I used in an egg wash. I didn't want to throw out the eggs so I mixed in some cowboy butter and voila! Cowboy butter scrambled eggs. It was super easy, but if you want the recipe for that, let me know. But today, I'm here to talk about using the cowboy butter with prawns which I cooked up for a quick evening snack. Took about 10 minutes all up to make, so this is FAST. And oh so yummy!!

Easy minced pork and egg curry noodles with leftover curry sauce

A little while ago I posted a recipe for my Easy Yellow Chicken Curry. That was delicious but we had a serve of leftovers and also a lot of leftover curry sauce. I was going to toss out the sauce but The Boy insisted I save it. He said the sauce was so good, we could have it over noodles or rice again. Listening to him, I kept the sauce. I finally decided to use the sauce and cooked up a delicious, simple noodle dish.It was definitely more-ish.

Malaysian sambal stir-fry noodles

I was planning a kimchi noodle dish for lunch and I didn't plan ahead very well. When it came time to cook lunch I discovered that I didn't have any kimchi in my pantry. I usually keep a jar or two in my pantry for whenever I felt like cooking a kimchi dish. Alas, I used it up the last time I cooked a Korean dish and never restocked. So I had to improvise. I ended up with this Malaysian sambal stir-fry noodle dish since I spotted a jar of the Malaysian sambal stir-fry paste on my pantry shelf. Turned out great and there were no leftovers.

Easy pork belly stir fried noodles

I've been having a craving for noodles for a while recently since we've been having a lot of leftovers after a particularly large batch of fish curry. Who knew that the recipe would cook such a large batch of curry? Not me! Anyway, we've diligently made our way through all the fish curry leftovers and I was more than ready for something different. I always love noodles and really, I like to have noodles at least once a week or I go into withdrawals. I had pork belly in the fridge and decided to throw this together. We do have leftovers though but I've reduced the recipe so that it serves four instead of eight here.

Kimchi and minced pork noodles

I've been experimenting with more Asian cooking recently and came across a video using kimchi to cook in noodles. I thought it sounded interesting and well, I like kimchi. Wasn't sure how The Boy was going to enjoy it since the kimchi flavor is pretty strong. Turns out he loved it.

Thai basil pork noodles

I love noodles. Doesn't really matter what kind of noodles, I love noodles. I especially love instant ramen noodles. They are a guilty pleasure of mine. These are not instant and they are delicious, but super easy to make. They really don't take more than 15 minutes to cook including prep.

Easy stir fried noodles

For years and years, I have said that I would not cook Asian food and if I wanted it I would go eat at my mum's house. Well, that's not exactly working right now with the quarantine and lockdown, is it? And recently, I've really gotten into watching Asian cooking videos on YouTube. I finally bit the bullet and started stocking Asian grocery staples in my pantry (don't even ask me about trying to find space in my pantry for it all!!) and started cooking my own Asian food. It's noodle and rice dishes mostly, but also some curries as well.
