What happens when you reach into the far regions of the cupboard and find an open packet of dried noodles? Then you peek your head into the fridge and find that long-forgotten jar of almond butter with hardly enough to slather on a piece of toast. Well, scrape up that jar and add some kitchen basics. Then bing-bang-boom, you got yourself a delicious meal!
This dish features our second part of Chinese leftovers, those soya sauce packets. Holy sodium, they sure enjoy tossing those in by the handful!
Well, it's about time we toss them into the pan because it's time to make
Skimpy Egg Noodles.
Makes: 2 servings Time: 35 minutes Cost per serving: $6.66
Ingredients for Noodles:
150 g Dry instant noodles (3x 50 gram packets)
4 tbsp Almond butter
Two packs of Soya sauce (approx. 1 tsp)
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Black pepper powder
2 tbsp Beef bone broth (vegan alternative, miso paste)
1 cup of water (from the egg noodles)
One medium Carrot, sliced into matchstick pieces
3 Green onions, sliced
One Lime slice
Splurge: 1 tbsp of Sesame oil
Ingredients for Crab Omelet:
Dash of Cream (approx. 1 tbsp)
Two Eggs
One can of Crab meat, drained
Smoked paprika
Instructions:
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, bring the temperature to a simmer and add the dry noodles. Cook for 3-4 minutes until noodles soften, then drain the water. Reserve a cup of that water in a measuring cup.
Add to the measuring cup, with the reserved water: almond butter, soya sauce, garlic powder, black pepper powder, and bone broth (or miso paste). Whisk together until smooth. Add into the pot with the noodles.
In a separate non-stick pan, cook up the carrots on medium heat. Then stir the carrots and green onions into the pot with the noodles.
Add in the splurge item, sesame oil, if you choose.
To make the omelet: beat together cream and eggs. On medium-low heat, put the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to spread thinly and evenly. Sprinkle the crab meat on the surface of the omelet. Once cooked, fold the omelet in half, remove it from the pan, and transfer it to a plate. Sprinkle smoked paprika on top.
Divide the omelet and noodles in half, add lime slices to zest it up, and you've got yourself a delicious meal for two!
