I get asked quite often why I like to cook. The first reason I give is normally because I like to eat. I am Thai and food is a big factor in our culture. We greet each other with hello followed by 'have you eaten? When guests turn up at your house it's safe to assume that they will expect to be fed.

The second reason is that as I grew up in the Northeastern part of Thailand, the poorest region, food was always hard to come by. We weren't hungry as there was always rice, but it was difficult finding something to go with rice. Now I do have ingredients to go with rice, I want to cook!

Pad See Ewe - Stir fried noodles.
(Literally means Stir Fried Soy Sauce)

Serves 4.

Preparation:
-250g cooked egg noodles, drained, tossed with 
-1 1/2tbsp dark soy sauce. Leave aside 

-2 cloves of garlic, chopped.
-1 onion sliced.
-your choice of vegetables, eg.
*broccoli,
*pepper,

I used what I had in the fridge,
-carrots,
-asparagus,
-mushrooms,
Cut them into chunks, leave aside.

Seasoning:
-white pepper,
-2 tbsp light soy sauce,
-1 tsp sesame oil.
-1/2 tsp sugar.

In a large wok, stir fry
-garlic, with 
-onion
Cook for a couple of minutes to get rid of the rawness of the onion. Turn the heat up HIGH, add
-your choice of vegetables, add
-seasoning. Stir to combine,  cook for a couple of minutes, put in
-noodles, 
Stir fry to coat the noodles, continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes. The vegetables should still be crunchy. Adjust the seasoning.
