I noticed this recipe for Drunken Noodles by Peter Evans when I was checking out the Lifestyle Food web page recently. Since acquiring my new wok I am on the look out for more stir fry dishes.
I basically followed the recipe except using cooked dried rice noodles instead of delicious fresh ones.
It was really quite simple once you had everything in place for the action.
First in is garlic, red eschallots and banana chilli to hot peanut oil. Then sliced chicken followed by 2 eggs. Next the vegetables (capsicum, tomatoes, cabbage) and the sauce (oyster sauce, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, palm sugar). Right at the end put in some spring onion, coriander, basil and peanuts.
It was really delicious and light tasting with all the different elements adding to the dish.
Also you may have noticed my lack of posting lately. I have been cooking lots of new dishes and taking photos but have been trying to be less obsessed about blogging. I return to work next week (after a year of maternity leave) and know that I wont be dedicating my time to 'muppys' so much. I really love reading all your blogs and love that you visit mine. So I will be hopping over soon but not as often as I have in the past. Hope you all have a good day.
Yummo! These look great! What sort of wok did you buy? I am on the hunt for a new one myself. Good luck on your return to the workforce!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Anna, I want to find a good wok. I originally thought about putting it on my Christmas wish list, but I am much too impatient for that.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds great but not sure why it is drunken! Once back to work you will certainly have less time but we will be happy to see you when you do have the time. Take care Diane

ReplyDeleteLooks tasty! The Lifestyle Food website is quite a good resource, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your return to work - am about to start a year's maternity leave myself! :)
Love the name of this dish but a little puzzled as to why 'drunken' when there is no alcohol listed in the ingredients.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya. I tend of twitter most of my cooking and eating expeditions as of late which has been good for my sleep LOL No more late nights banging away at the keyboard…for now…
ReplyDeleteOoo back to work - that sucks! I noticed a little person in your first picture (is this the new camera btw - nice photos). Are you working in the city???
