Udon

I have been dying to eat instant noodles. Don’t ask me why. It is probably just one of those ‘revision time’ cravings. I have been eating loads of pasta and more pasta of late. I have cooked pasta in all ways possible. And I am sick sick sick of Pasta and am craving for instant noodles. Most people are eating loads and loads of instant noodles during revision period. But PJ have ate no instant noodles since the start of the revision season. Unbelievable rite? I can’t believe it myself. Either I have become a health freak or a stingy pig.

The problem is, every time I go to Costcutters, I see a packet of instant noodles costing 38p which is about RM2.50. For a bloody measly packet of Nissin Instant noodles! A packet as in 1 packet not the pack of 5 we get at home. It is not even Indo Mee or my fave Mee Pok. I know I should not convert but I can’t help it when it comes to instant noodles. I just can’t help it. They are over charging. Don’t eat over charged instant noodles people!!

Anyway, so I decided to make my own noodles. I had a look at Jin’s recipe book and found that it is not that hard to make Udon. 2 cups of flour, ¾ cups of water and a pinch of salt. Knead into dough. Leave for 2 hours and cover with damp cloth. After 2 hours, roll them flat and fold into 3 parts. Cut into strips and voila.

It wasn't fantastic but good enough to keep PJ happy. PJ is full and satisfied. A hearty breakfast to start of the day! Gonna hop off to work now. Ciao.

wahh Pei Jie, you are so healthy!! I eat ramen or mee goreng like crazy here!! But I have to admit they are really expensive. We have mee goreng pedas Maggi brand here and they cost $0.35 too! Other udon or ramen are even more ridiculous, some goes up to 50cents! But, of course the trick is to NOT CONVERT to RM when you want to eat, spoils your appetite! I used to do that all the time the first semester here. Now, I just eat eat and eat here. Makes me so much happier!! Anyhow, neng chi shi fu! Can become prosperous (in other words gleefully growing horizontally)

Btw, Pei Jie, why do you need spam control? You ada banyak spam for your bloggie ka?
