Hey dudesndivorce.com fellas!
I like Chinese food and, while I am by no means a Chinese chef (nor do I play one on TV) I can get around a wok. Sometimes I use a cookbook, other times I just throw caution to the wind and start cooking what has been stewing in my mind. Such was the case yesterday.
I had baked some fish in soy sauce the day before and felt inspired to use it in my cooking that day. So I cleaned up some bok choy, broccoli, scallions, and a green pepper and chopped them up with a half a white onion. I threw two packages of Ramen noodles into a microwave cooking pot I use for noodles with some water and put it in the microwave for 6 minutes. After chopping the noodles I put them all in a big mixing bowl and added soy sauce and oyster sauce and mixed it all together.
I put my wok on my stove, put a little oil in the bottom, and started the gas, let it get hot a moment, then tossed in my vegetables. Stirring them occasionally. When the noodles came out, I drained them and added the fish and seasoning powder to them. Then I removed the vegetables from the wok into a mixing bowl and put the noodle mixture into the wok. I also added some frozen precooked shrimp. Again stirring occasionally. After as few minutes I added the vegetables back in and stirred it all together.
After a few minutes of stirring and cooking together, I pulled it all out and put it into another bowl, whipped out the wok, added water to it, placed my bamboo steamer into it and proceeded to steam some buns. I admit they were frozen buns I had bought at a local Asian market! Hey, I haven’t learned to make those yet, ok? Besides this is supposed to be quick and easy, right? Oh yeah, I put a layer of wax paper under the buns so they wouldn’t stick to the bamboo steamer. Just had to keep an eye on it and add more water from time to time as the buns steam.
All in all, with very little effort I had a good tasting home cooked Chinese meal. Here is the end result, what do you think?
