What kinds of noodles? Any kind or a certain kind? Pasta, egg, etc?

Mum2b_Claire · Dec 18th, 2009, 16:06 PM

When I do a stir fry I tend not to use any sauce at all...I just cook chicken / veg, then add cooked noodles and some sesame oil and soy sauce. I guess I'd take some out for Ruby before adding the soy sauce.

Egg noodles and bean sprouts

When I was a kid my dad did this with egg noodles... I loved it. Still do! haha

Broad egg noodles. (no yolk for a low cholesterol alt)
Boil in water until cooked
Heat a bit of olive oil in skillet (veg oil if you want higher fat content for BLW)
Fry egg noodles until slightly crispy (the crispier the better to me, but that isn't for everyone)
Sprinkle with paprika as you are frying them
Just toss as they are frying so they don't burn in one spot.

I drizzle the fried noodles with ketchup ... yum yum

Also, I looked at that recipe, I think the oyster sauce is just for salt and thickening. So you can use flour/water or cornstarch/water to thicken. You don't want the salt anyway for BLW, right?

we generally use pasta noodles. I like the elbow macaronis for her as they are easy for her to pick up. we tried the spirals to but I found they were harder for her to eat (thicker) and I had to cut them up before giving them to her which is a pain

spinach spaghetti sauce:

1 bunch baby spinach steamed
1 cup cottage cheese
cheddar cheese to taste (we use loads because Hannah likes cheese).

Puree together in a blender and serve over pasta over your choice

I've also used the recipe to make raviolis which Hannah really liked, it's one of her favorite dinners

Going to try this in the next day or two -- but I have a question... how long to you steam the spinach?

**Vickie** · Dec 19th, 2009, 18:44 PM

we used a rice cooker or a steaming pan that we had (pot of boiling water that had an insert thing you could place things in and a lid) to steam. You could probably just cook the spinach down in water and it'd have the same effect?

I have a pot with an insert for to make a steamer -- do you do them until they are soggy? Or just lightly??

**Vickie** · Dec 19th, 2009, 19:20 PM
