Vegetable Noodles (by G)

Damned Vegetarian Wednesday. All I could think to do this time around is a kind of vegetarian ramen. A bowl with a little bit of minced garlic, coriander and chilli in the bottom topped with instant vegetarian noodles.

On top of the noodles were mixed mushrooms fried in a lot of garlic and butter, along with a piece of spring onion that I deliberately charred. The kids are all about charring things these days so I thought I would give it a try - I have to say, the kids may be on to something.

There was a whole lot of garlic butter left in the pan after frying the mushrooms, I wasn't sure what to do with it so I just poured it on top. That was an inspired decision - less inspired was the decision to add fried tofu. The tofu was the low point in what was otherwise a surprisingly delicious meal.
