For the past weeks, there have been several wedding receptions to attend which means no dinners at home during the weekends. So I kept my lunch simple as I didn't buy too much of fresh groceries as there won't be much cooking.
This is a simple stir fry noodles where all ingredients are usually available in the kitchen.
The original recipe uses 250 grams of longevity noodles but I replaced it with instant noodles.

Hi Kimmy, I also like this kind of "instant" noodles for my lunch. Easy to cook and surely satisfying to eat :)
Hi Baby Sumo, sometimes I thought this is lazy cooks' dish. I dare not cook this noodle in my in-laws place but it is satisfying to eat. I like it with more vegetables.
this is how I like to cook too..
Hi Kimmy,
Noodles are always a comfort to have any meal of the day! And this look delicious!
Thanks for linking with CYB!
Hi Kimmy,
Nutritional thoughts aside... I reckon that instant noodles are yummy and like the way how you cooked.

Hi Sonia, the usual way is add noodles then sauces. Here, I fry dark soy sauce with garlic before adding noodles. There is a difference in fragrance and colour.
Hi Joyce, a simple noodle dish that can be prepared anytime.
Hi Zoe, I think this noodle would be good too, if I were to fry whole garlic with skin until brown then add soy sauce. Will try this next time.
Kimmy, I always love fried noodles and love to eat it with pickled green chillies.
Hi Phong Hong, I like my fried noodles with either pickled green chillies, red chillies or sambal belacan, so long as they are spicy enough.
