Store Cupboard Pad Thai

I love a bit of Thai food. Pad Thai must be one of my favourite dishes, so I'm going to have a crack at it! My recipe is a good store cupboard meal. The prawns were from the freezer, but you could easily replace them with chicken or tofu - or stick them all in if you really feel like going to town!

The trick to cooking this dish is to have everything prepared before you start cooking. Make sure you've made the sauce up so it's ready to add quickly. Once you start cooking, it's a very quick dish!

Miso Ramen Noodles with Smoked Mackerel

I have a disclaimer before you make this tasty miso ramen noodle recipe, packed with yummy smoked mackerel. I have never been to Japan. I am not Japanese. I have been to a Japanese restaurant, and I do have friends that have lived in and visited Japan. My recipe might not be 100% authentic, but it sure is tasty! Let me know what you think. 

My children love noodle dishes, and this is a great way to get them trying ingredients they might otherwise not want to try. All the different elements seem to be attractive to kids too. They feel like they are being given a choice of what to eat.

Chicken & Mushroom Ramen

This dish is a winner! In fact, chicken & mushroom ramen could be one of my all time favourites! The children absolutely love it too, which makes dinner time a little easier! 

I used fresh chicken thighs, but you could easily use leftover chicken for an even quicker dish. The poached egg brings the whole noodle dish together with gooey runny egg yolk.
