Tired of eating magi mee but don't have the time to prepare food at home? Fret no more here is a simple dish that can be prepared in advance and takes only 10mins to cook.

Pan Fried Chicken with Rice Noodles - Serves 1

Ingredients:
100g of chicken (any part you like, chopped up into small chunks preferably)
50g of rice noodles (normally these are sold in packs and have individual bundles inside)
half a table spoon of oil
a pinch of spices (this is really up to you. You will only use them in the marinating of the chicken)
a pinch of salt
a pinch of ground black pepper

Method:
1. Marinate chicken in the oil, spices, salt and pepper. This step can be done way in advance but you can use the chicken immediately.
2. Heat a pan on high and when pan is hot sear chickens on each side for 2 mins each or till golden brown. You don't need to put any extra oil as the chickens should be well coated in oil
3. Turn the heat to low and cover the pan for 2 mins to let the chicken cook thoroughly. Turn off the heat but leave the cover on to let the chicken rest and release its juices.
4. Boil hot water and soak your rice noodles for approximately 3-4 min. Don't soak them for too long if not they will get soggy.
5. Try your noodles to get the Q-ness you want. Once you are satisfied with your noodles, remove the chickens from the pan and turn the heat on high. Fry the noodles for a min while tossing the stirring to make sure the sauce coats the noodles. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Plate the chicken and serve.

One of my fav midnight supper is Chasoba! i love how its so easy to cook and much healthier than instant noodles! i just made some for myself and i am grinning from ear to ear. it is so yummy! i think basically if u cook the noodle well and al dente then it should be quite yummy already!

Cha soba - Serves 1

1 bunch of noodles ( inside the packet, they would usually separate into 1 person portions so you dont have to gauge how much to cook)
Wasabi ( depending on how much wasabi you can tahan )
Soba sauce ( available in most supermarkets )
Ice ( 3 to 4 cubes )

Cook the cha soba in a pot of boiling water
Remove when cha soba is cooked. Basically you want it chewy and springy, not soft! it will take prolly bout 5 mins
Drain cha soba and rinse with cold water. ( this will stop the noodles from cooking further)
Add ice to let it become cold
Mix soba sauce with wasabi ( i normally use about 4 tbsp of sauce )
Either pour the sauce over the noodles or put in a separate bowl for dipping

Enjoy the cha soba!
