Using a recipetineats recipe from the cookbook Dinner, gifted recently by Dad as a christmas present. This was the first recipe I used it for, and the first time I cooked noodles by myself. I went into eastwood and visited 5 different shops to source the ingredients, and was helped by lots of shop attendants trying to figure out what I was on about. Delightful recipe to cook, all goes into pan. I accidentally bought fresh rice noodles instead, worked great.
